EU Migration Pact Obliges Hungary to Set up “Migrant Ghettos”, Claims Orbán's Chief Security Advisor

Speaking at the Bálványos Summer University at Băile Tuşnad (Tusnádfürdő), in Romania, György Bakondi said Hungary was seeking allies to thwart the implementation of the agreement in Europe.
Before the pact was accepted, Hungary’s representatives had not managed to promote the position under which asylum seekers could only submit their applications outside the bloc’s borders, and that illegal entrants should not apply for asylum, Bakondi said.
“Introducing the pact would trigger irreversible developments,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bakondi insisted that the objective of the so-called Soros plan to have one million illegal immigrants enter Europe each year had been achieved last year.
“Those executing the Soros plan have been promoting mandatory quotas since 2015, but since the systems of Italy and Spain are overburdened, they are seeking to redistribute migrants among other member states,” he said.
Countries that refuse to take in those migrants will be fined, Bakondi said, adding that the pact obliged Hungary to set up “migrant ghettos”.
Meanwhile EU Affairs Minister: EU Presidency to 'Represent Demand for Change
The results of the recent European parliamentary elections reflect a “demand for change” and the Hungarian EU presidency is to “promote and represent that demand”, EU Affairs Minister János Bóka said at the Bálványos Summer University in Băile Tuşnad (Tusnádfürdő), in Romania.
Speaking at a panel discussion, Bóka said the EU had given “ill-advised responses” in areas such as competitiveness, cohesion and agricultural policy, or demographic challenges.
“Changes involve political conflicts; we will act responsibly if we act as an honest mediator but do not refrain from those conflicts,” the minister said.
He called for a fundamental change in the EU’s approach, which he said should focus on the “value-added in integration”.
“The success of the EU should be evaluated on that basis… In the past five years the EU failed because acting together did not yield the value added that members could have achieved separately, on their own,” he said.
