“Unfortunately, we Europeans cannot regulate that,” said the conservative politician in an interview with “Bild”, “Welt” and “Politico”. The reason is different political ideas: Germany is positive about migration, while Hungary considers it too risky.
His country makes a clear distinction between guest workers and migrants, Germany does not, Orban said. Hungary does not want “communities that do not respect our core European values”. This included equality, no homophobia, and no anti-Semitism.
Orban again rejected the asylum compromise negotiated by EU interior ministers in early June. If the EU says it will redistribute migrants across the EU in the future, it is sending a signal to smugglers that they can continue to do business. The Prime Minister confirmed that his country would not participate in the distribution of refugees in the EU and would not pay compensation. His country already spends more than two billion euros to protect the Schengen area against illegal immigrants – for which the country has received “not a single cent from Brussels”.
The EU’s Asylum Compromise provides for numerous tightening measures to curb irregular migration – especially from countries considered relatively safe. Asylum applications from migrants from countries of origin with a recognition rate of less than 20 percent must be examined at the EU’s external borders within 12 weeks.
During this time, they want to force protection seekers to stay in tightly controlled reception facilities. Those who have no chance of asylum must be returned immediately. It is conceivable that the EU Parliament will push through changes.
According to Orban, catastrophes such as the sinking of a ship carrying hundreds of refugees off the coast of Greece can only be avoided by making it clear to all refugees: “You cannot enter the territory of the European Union without a decision on your application. ” (sda/dpa)
