Illegal Immigration: Security Becoming Increasingly Critical

In countries with a high proportion of illegal immigrants, attacks will be more prevalent, and security will become increasingly critical, PM Orban's chief advisor on homeland security told M1 public television, in the context of recent attacks by illegal immigrants against police officers in Italy.

He also said that Hungary, as the next country to hold the EU's rotating presidency, will intensively focus on experiences related to illegal migration in a political landscape changing with the new composition of the European Parliament after the June elections. He expressed hope that the elections will result in a parliament that would replace the leftist-liberal predominance and would represent the interests of EU citizens, as well as places an emphasis on cooperation between member states.
