Hungary’s Chief Security Adviser, György Bakondi, criticized the European Union’s migration pact, calling it “full of holes” and highlighting several issues from Hungary’s perspective.
One of the major concerns, he said, is the requirement that illegal migrants be redistributed among EU member states based on quotas.
Bakondi also pointed out the need to build “massive” refugee camps to process asylum applications within a set timeframe, arguing that many migrants would simply leave and continue their journey elsewhere. He noted that while some migrants receive asylum, many others have their applications rejected, and a significant number do not even attempt to seek asylum. He suggested that potentially hundreds of thousands bypass authorities, working illegally or engaging in criminal activities.
According to United Nations data, nearly 1 million irregular migrants arrive in Europe each year, Bakondi added. He criticized the latest EU migration pact, which has the support of three political families in the European Parliament, calling it a plan to maintain the current situation, with “unforeseeable consequences for the future of Europe.”
Bakondi also mentioned that individuals granted political asylum and legally residing in a country receive housing support and employment assistance. He emphasized that many terrorists in Europe are illegal migrants who have not been deported, warning that their presence on the continent “poses a serious threat” to public security.
