Bakondi: Hungary does not intend to implement EU migration pact

Gyorgy Bakondi said Hungary was seeking allies to thwart the implementation of the agreement in Europe.

Before the pact was accepted, Hungary’s representatives had not managed to promote the position under which asylum seekers could only submit their applications outside the community’s borders, and that illegal entrants should not apply for asylum, Bakondi said. “Introduction of the pact would trigger irreversible developments,” he added.

Bakondi insisted that the objective of the so-called Soros plan to have one million illegal immigrants enter Europe each year had been achieved last year. “Those executing the Soros plan have been promoting mandatory quotas since 2015, but since the systems of Italy and Spain are overburdened, they seek to redistribute migrants among other member states,” he added.

Countries that reject to take in those migrants will be fined, said Bakondi, adding that the pact obliged Hungary under an expedited border procedure to set up “migrant ghettos”, camps with a capacity of several thousand people. “Those would be much larger than the transit zones over which Hungary has been fined,” he said, adding that the asylum application of illegal entrants and those redistributed to Hungary from western Europe would need to be processed in 35 days. “Should this not happen, those people should be released to go free,” Bakondi said, adding that “Hungary’s basic law does not allow that people are let in on the basis of decisions by others”.

There are other EU members striving to find a solution “which may not be in line with provisions of EU pact, but would serve the future and security of European people and families,” the chief security advisor said.
