Hungary exposes the EU “solidarity mechanism” as a political damp squib!

At a press conference in Budapest, the Hungarian government made it unequivocally clear that Hungary will not accept a single migrant under the recently adopted EU “solidarity mechanism.” ESN MEP Mary Khan (AfD) commented:

“The ‘solidarity mechanism’ is nothing other than the forced redistribution of illegal immigrants and a further creeping loss of national sovereignty. Any mechanism that imposes additional long-term burdens on our already massively overstretched country must therefore be firmly rejected. Despite the Commission’s threat of exorbitant fines, the Orbán government is leading by example and is issuing a clear rejection of any form of refugee distribution — an example Germany should follow.

Even before it begins, Hungary has exposed the ‘solidarity mechanism’ for what it is — a political damp squib. While the EU continues to debate allocation quotas, the public has long been demanding a clear change of course: a halt to migration along with a remigration offensive!”
