Speaking at a press conference, Szijjártó said that during the debate on the package “all pro-migration politicians” had insisted that the compact would not be made mandatory.

The Hungarian government “calls on the European Commission to stop making secret plans to make the UN compact mandatory and publish all relevant documents completed so far”, Szijjártó said.

He added that the government would call on the EC to report on “any such secret plans” at a foreign affairs council session on March 18.
