- 15 Feb 2016 12:00 AM
The ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance has called for a day of debate in parliament on the topic of migration and the European Union’s proposed migrant quota system, Fidesz’s parliamentary group leader announced. Lajos Kósa said following a group meeting in the resort of Lillafüred that the ruling party called on the government to launch an information campaign for travellers abroad, especially young people, calling their attention to the dangers and deteriorating public safety in Europe.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will inform group leaders, committee heads and MPs in the European grand committee on Monday morning about his scheduled talks for the week.
Visegrad Four talks will be held on Monday and a summit in Brussels in the second half of the week, Kósa said. The day of debate on migration is expected to be held in parliament during the week starting on Feb. 29, he added. There is a non-public background agreement between the European Union and Turkey about moving 400,000-500,000 migrants from Turkey to the EU, he said.
The summit in Brussels will show whether an attempt is made to push this scenario through, the main element of which will be the mandatory migrant quota. European Commissioner
