The Hungarian Helsinki Committee said on Tuesday that the legacy of the migration policy under the former Orban government was costing Hungary dearly, adding that refugee policy was not about political slogans but practical problems and human lives, which required real, rule-of-law responses from a functioning and humane state.
Hungary continues to reject the European Union's Migration Pact in its current form, therefore the government has not completed a plan for its implementation in Hungary and it is "not planning to submit such a document in future", the interior minister said in parliament's European affairs committee on Monday, at his hearing on a meeting of EU interior and justice ministers in Luxembourg.
The agreement between Hungary and Ukraine concerning the educational, cultural, and language rights of Hungarians in Transcarpathia has become official, Prime Minister Peter Magyar has said on Facebook.
Fighting illegal migration was one of the greatest lies of the previous government, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Saturday, and presented documents suggesting that the Orban government had planned to set up a refugee camp back in Aug 2024.
