Orbán Vows Continued Fight Against EU Migration Pact After Election Defeat
The former prime minister said that sovereigntist parties are gaining strength across Europe and warned that Hungary’s new government is yielding to EU demands.

The former prime minister said that sovereigntist parties are gaining strength across Europe and warned that Hungary’s new government is yielding to EU demands.

“For years, Brussels has done more to protect illegal migrants from removal than to protect Europeans from the consequences of illegal migration. This text finally marks a change of direction,” Patriots MEP and former Frontex chief Fabrice Leggeri said.

A quick explainer on the EU’s landmark migration management legislation and why the European Right is not happy about it.

Patriotic European leaders argue that the new system limits national sovereignty, institutionalizes relocations, and penalizes states that refuse to participate in the solidarity mechanism.

The ECR’s proposal was only supported by the Patriots and ESN, while every other group rejected it despite rushing to adopt a resolution on George Floyd six years ago.

The deal includes setting up return hubs, strict deportation rules, and lifetime bans for asylum seekers deemed a security threat.

Hungary’s proposed prime ministerial term limits represent a dangerous precedent according to the conservative grouping.

Brussels says the Pact will strengthen Europe’s borders. Opponents argue it simply repackages the same migration model that has already failed.

A resolution adopted in the plenary calls for taking “all necessary measures” even before the investigation concludes, as the financial “witch hunt” against the Patriots group intensifies.

The European Parliament is set to endorse a record-high budget, while EU countries remain divided as time runs short on negotiations.
