Orbán accuses the European Union of having "raped" and "forced" Hungary with the migration agreement

The Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, has stated that the migration pact that the European Union is currently negotiating involves “violating” with laws and policies countries that, like Hungary and Poland, do not agree.

“If they rape you, in legal terms, and force you to accept something you don't want, how can there be an agreement? It's impossible,” declared the president upon his arrival at the informal Council of Granada, where he regretted that Budapest and Warsaw have been set aside.

Thus, the Hungarian Prime Minister has made it clear that there will be no concessions, which he considers “impossible” in political terms today: “Not only today, but also on a general level, for the next few years.”

Orbán reacts like this after the Interior Ministers last week established the position of the 27 to negotiate the migration crisis management mechanism, a key file in the migration and asylum reform. The mandate went ahead with the support of a qualified majority of countries and despite the vote against Hungary and Poland, which could not stop the agreement.

Questions the expansion

On the other hand, he has alluded to the open debate on enlargement to point out that, before considering the entry of new members into the community bloc, it is necessary to examine the “strategic consequences” that it would entail.. “We have not done it,” he warned.

In the case of Ukraine, which even aspires to start accession talks this year, he stressed that “it is a country at war” and that the EU “has never” accepted a member in these circumstances, and that it is not even known ” “where are the effective borders” today.

He has also pointed out that we must examine the impact from a budgetary point of view, the impact that it would have on aspects ranging from agricultural aid to cohesion funds, including basic security issues.. “Are the French peasants prepared?” he added.

Regarding the possibility of imposing sanctions on Azerbaijan, raised by the European Parliament, the prime minister recalled that it is “a key country”, without which there would be no “energy independence”. “If we want to reduce dependence on Russian energy, we need Azerbaijan,” he said.
