Orbán equates the migration pact with a violation: "They force us to accept something we do not want"

He affirms that the EU must open an in-depth debate before any possible enlargement and recalls that Ukraine is "a country at war"

The Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, has stated that the migration pact that the European Union is currently negotiating involves "violating" with laws and policies countries like Hungary and Poland that do not agree.

"If they rape you, in legal terms, and force you to accept something you don't want, how can there be an agreement? It's impossible," Orbán stated upon his arrival at the informal Council of Granada, where he regretted that Budapest and Warsaw had been set aside.

Thus, the Hungarian Prime Minister has made it clear that there will be no concessions, which he considers "impossible" in political terms today. "Not only today, but also on a general level, for the next few years," he declared.

Orbán reacts this way after the Interior Ministers this week established the position of the 27 to negotiate the migration crisis management mechanism, a key file in the immigration and asylum reform. The mandate went ahead with the support of a qualified majority of countries and despite the vote against Hungary and Poland, which could not stop the agreement.

On the other hand, he has alluded to the open debate on enlargement to point out that, before considering the entry of new members into the community bloc, it is necessary to examine the "strategic consequences" that it would entail. "We have not done it," she warned.

In the case of Ukraine, which even aspires to start accession talks this year, Orbán has stressed that "it is a country at war" and that the EU has "never" accepted a member in these circumstances, since it is not known even "where are the effective borders" today.

He has also pointed out that we must examine the impact from a budgetary point of view, the impact that it would have on aspects ranging from agricultural aid to cohesion funds, including basic security issues. "Are the French peasants prepared?" she added.

Regarding the possibility of imposing sanctions on Azerbaijan, raised by the European Parliament, the Prime Minister of Hungary recalled that it is "a key country", without which there would be no "energy independence".

"If we want to reduce dependence on Russian energy, we need Azerbaijan," he said.

Orbán's misgivings also extend to possible sanctions against Serbia, demanded on Thursday in Granada by the president of Kosovo. The Prime Minister of Hungary has called the proposal "ridiculous" and "impossible" and has called instead to help Serbia "stabilize" the region.

"Serbs have suffered provocations in the last two years," he denounced, and then addressed the Kosovar authorities to ask them not to "provoke." "Provocation leads to responses and results in more instability," she noted.
