Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has used his controversial visit to the CSU National Group for a drastic description of the refugee crisis. This had become a “democracy problem” for Europe, said Orbán in front of journalists.
While CSU leader Horst Seehofer emphasized the rule of law Orbán, SPD, Greens and left criticized the visit.
Orban repeated a statement from 2015, when he described himself as the “border patrol captain” of Bavaria. “Consider me still as her border patrol captain.”
The migration issue has now become fundamental for Europe” Orban said. The European people clearly do not want to live under terrorism. The people want security and the borders to be protected.
He therefore thinks that the year 2018 will be “the year of the restoration of popular will in Europe”.
“Bavaria and Hungary have long combined respect and friendship,” added Horst Seehofer afterwards. The state of Bavaria will launch an initiative to strengthen the Central European states. “And Hungary will be part of it.”
