In a post on Facebook, Magyar accused Prime Minister Viktor Orban of using the issue of migration to deflect attention from "Hungary's economic collapse and the health-care crisis". He said "locals in Vitnyed, in Gyor-Moson-Sopron County" were saying that the government was planning to settle 500 illegal migrants in the village, in north-western Hungary, and put them under the supervision of the military.

"Enough with the deflections and the lies,"Magyar said, and asked the government why it wanted to use taxpayer money to turn a formerly reputable school into a "migrant camp".

"The people in Vitnyed are afraid, and the homes there and are losing their value," he said, insisting that the government had gone back on its promise to protect Hungarians from illegal migrants and released 2,000 people smugglers. He said the government was also bringing in "60,000 Asian economic migrants a year", putting the profits of multinational companies before the safety and livelihood of the Hungarian people.

Magyar said the Tisza party supported strict migration regulations and the protection of Hungary's borders, and called on the government to stop building migrant camps and withdraw its decision to settle Asian economic migrants in the country.

Meanwhile, Menczer: MEP Magyar Demands Observation of Brussels' Migration Rules

Peter Magyar, the head and MEP of the opposition Tisza Party, demands the observation of migration rules set by Brussels which make illegal migration legal, the communications director of ruling Fidesz said in a video posted on social media.

The video posted by Tamas Menczer on Facebook quotes European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as saying that "we can grant more opportunities for people to come to Europe legally". It also quotes Liberal MEP Guy Verhofstadt as saying that "real legal routes to enter the European Union" were missing.

Those statements, Menczer said, meant that "they make immigration legal, permit and even organise it," adding that Brussels had set mandatory quotas and ordered the creation of "migrant ghettos", naming the regulations "a migration pact".

"Illegal migrants then enter Europe and massacre the European people," he said, adding that "it is hard to tell the family members of the victims how wonderful the rules set by Brussels are".

"We choose the Hungarian people and want no part of immigrants just as we want no part of the pro-immigration rules of Brussels," said Menczer.
