During a public debate held at the European Parliament, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, along with former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and Fabrice Leggeri, the former head of Frontex and leader of the French right-wing National Rally (RN) party, addressed pressing issues surrounding the EU’s migration and asylum package.
W Polsce przeciwko paktowi migracyjnemu głosowało 10 mln ludzi.
Polacy w zdecydowany sposób mówią STOP nielegalnej imigracji.Niestety, premier @donaldtusk postanowił zignorować ich głosy i referendum.

Viktor Orbán emphasized the pivotal question at the heart of the matter: whether individuals seeking asylum in Europe should await their assessment within the EU’s borders or outside until a decision is reached. He firmly stated that
this is the red line. If this point is not met, everything else will remain unresolved.”
The Prime Minister reiterated the necessity of addressing this fundamental aspect for any effective migration policy within the EU.
Reflecting on Hungary’s stance on migration, Mr. Orbán highlighted the ongoing legal dispute with the European Commission over Hungarian migration legislation. He underscored Hungary’s resistance against what he termed the “Soros plan,” accusing George Soros of orchestrating organized migration efforts. He pointed to Soros’s alleged influence within EU institutions and among MEPs, framing the struggle as one against external interference in Hungary’s sovereignty.
The Hungarian PM also criticized the broader direction of EU policy, particularly the failure of recent initiatives such as the green transition, which he argued lacked economic and industrial feasibility.
He warned against politically motivated policies that could undermine European competitiveness, urging a more pragmatic approach.

Addressing economic concerns arising from the war in Ukraine, Mr. Orbán emphasized the need to separate discussions about the conflict from considerations of Ukraine’s potential accession to the EU. He warned against measures that could harm the European economy, citing the plight of European farmers as an example.
On Hungary’s experience with EU funding, he lamented Hungary’s exclusion from the EU’s recovery fund, alleging political motivations behind the decision.
He criticized Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, accusing her of withholding funds from Hungary due to its migration policies.

In summary, Orbán called for a re-evaluation of EU leadership and policies, advocating for a shift away from what he perceived as failed approaches. He concluded with a call for change, stating, “the current EU leadership has to go and we need new people. The plan is to come and take over Brussels.”
