State Secretary Retvari also pointed out that the draft text was distributed five minutes before the formal discussion, and the whole debate lasted 13 minutes. The issue of migration could determine the situation of Europe's population for generations to come, yet they devoted 13 minutes to the whole debate, he added.
Mr Retvari noted that the European Union - which keeps Hungary under constant scrutiny in connection with rule of law issues - does not consider itself bound by the same standards and it's squeezed through such a key issue in minutes, as a compromise proposal tabled on the basis of background negotiations, without any prior consultations or preparation.
He said Brussels appears scared of the potential outcome of next year's European Parliament elections, and that, after the vote, Europe's main decision-making forums will not be so pro-migration, so they want to push through these proposals at all costs, during this cycle.
The interior ministry's parliamentary state secretary confirmed that Hungary will continue to oppose the quota-based resettlement of migrants, and that this cannot happen so long as the Fidesz-Christian Democrat (KDNP) party alliance is in government. "That said, we clearly see that left-wing MEPs in the European Parliament have accepted, voted for and backed all pro-migration and quota-related proposals," he added.
