– Brussels is abusing its power. They want to transfer the migrants to Hungary, forcibly. This is unacceptable! They want to turn Hungary into a country of immigrants by force,"Hungarian PM Viktor Orban said in his recent Facebook post.

Experts interviewed by our newspaper have also pointed out that the mandatory migrant quota scheme would put a dent into the EU's unity, and that Hungary would be made to pay the price for Brussels' failed migration policy.
