Socialists Reject Charges Of Supporting Migrant Quota
- 21 Jul 2016 9:00 AM
The opposition Socialist Party has flatly denied ruling Fidesz’s allegations that they would support the European Union’s migrant quota system. “Fidesz is lying”, the party said in the wake of a Fidesz spokesman calling on the Socialists to “support the Hungarian people rather than immigrants”.
The Socialists noted that Fidesz had rejected earlier Socialist proposals to increase security in the country and reinforce counter-terrorist capabilities.
The Socialists repeated their position that the government’s upcoming quota referendum would pave the way for Hungary’s quitting the EU.
