Hungary threatens to send refugees to Brussels in EU immigration row
Migrants arrive at the Hungarian border fence between Serbia and Hungary near Roszke, southern Hungary, on September 13, 2015
HUNGARY’S anti-immigration government said today that it is prepared to provide free one-way tickets to Brussels for migrants and asylum-seekers attempting to enter the European Union.
Speaking at a news conference in the capital, Gergely Gulyas, chief of staff to Prime Minister Viktor Orban, criticised a June ruling by the European Court of Justice that ordered Hungary to pay a €200 million (£169m) fine for persistently breaking the bloc’s asylum rules and an additional €1m (£848,000) a day until it brings its policies into line with EU law.
Mr Gulyas said: “Brussels wants to force us at any cost to let migrants in.”
