Menczer: Tisza leader ‘betrays Hungarians by wanting EU migration rules’

In response to a statement by the leader of the opposition Tisza Party earlier in the day, Tamas Menczer slammed Peter Magyar in a video on Facebook, saying that Magyar had accused the government of being incapable of protecting the borders while rejecting migration “only in words”. Meanwhile, the government has built a fence protected by policemen and border patrols risking their lives, he said.

The officers have already foiled one million illegal entry attempts, “and they deserve gratitude and respect, rather than the lies and accusations of Peter Magyar,” Menczer said.

“The situation is clear: you [Peter Magyar] want Brussels rules which you find marvellous … and you betray the Hungarian people. We want security, because we value Hungarians more than rules from Brussels,” he said.
