FIDESZ continues to demand that the government announce today that Hungary will not implement the EU migration pact, which is set to take effect on Friday, the opposition’s communications director told MTI.
In his statement, Bertalan Havasi wrote: “Today, the Hungarian people can still decide with whom they want to live, and no matter how much Péter Magyar tries to steer the conversation, this must remain the case in the future as well.”
On Saturday, the FIDESZ leadership also called on the government and the prime minister to
immediately announce that Hungary would not implement the Brussels migration pact, which takes effect on June 12.”
On Friday, large crowds descended on central Budapest chanting “traitor” and “betrayal” in reaction to Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s expected signing of the EU’s Migration Pact. Furious demonstrators marched on the TISZA Party headquarters, then to Parliament.

In response to the demonstrations and criticism, Prime Minister Péter Magyar asked: “Why Viktor Orbán, who was the head of government at the time, did not prevent the pact from being adopted by the European Union?” However, Hungarians have already said no to the migration pact in a referendum in 2016 by the government of Viktor Orbán.
They have rejected Brussels’ migrant quota system with 3,251,000 votes.
This number is very close to the total number of votes, 3.3 million, that the TISZA party received during the April 12 elections.
Fact
The EU’s migration pact will take effect throughout the continent on June 12. With Viktor Orbán gone, there is now no effective resistance against Brussels’ plan to ship thousands of illegal migrants to so far uninvaded parts of the EU, such as Central Europe. Although Péter Magyar promised before the elections not to allow any migrants into Hungary, he has stayed conspicuously silent over the past few weeks whenever migration has been discussed. It is also understood that one of the conditions for releasing the billions of euros in European funds was exactly a reversal of Orbán’s tough opposition to the pact.
