EU Lawmakers to Confront 'Threat' of Hungary's Orban

AFP - European lawmakers will challenge Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to his face on Tuesday over what they see as his right-wing populist threat to EU founding values.

Orban plans to deliver a "frank and outspoken" defence of his stance before the European Parliament, which will decide whether to start steps that could lead to political sanctions against Hungary.

Orban calls for mass returns of migrants to Greece

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday called for undocumented migrants to be returned to Greece, noting that it is the first country of arrival even if all migrants are not registered there. 

He described himself as a "captain" of border protection, shielding both Hungary and Germany, but acknowledged that Budapest and Berlin have different stances on migration. 

Orban: Hungary will Return Migrants to Greece

Hungary has no option and does not want to accept migrants who will be returned from Germany. We are ready to help bring them back to Greece. This was said by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"From the very beginning of the migrant crisis, the Hungarian position was very sincere and open, despite the fact that it seemed quite unpleasant," Orban said.
