On Tuesday Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács told Hungarian television channel M1 in its evening programme that Brussels must be prevented from applying the mandatory relocation quotas, and it must be sent a clear message – the most effective form of which is a referendum.
On Wednesday, György Bakondi, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, told Hungarian television channel M1 in its morning programme that in the past twenty-four hours 1,060 illegal migrants have attempted to enter Hungary.
In Szeged on Tuesday, György Bakondi, the Prime Minister’s Chief Advisor on Homeland Security, said that “The police and members of the Hungarian Defence Force have taken great efforts to prepare for the introduction of the new border protection system, which guarantees the security of the Hungarian people and the protection of external borders”.
Hungary condemns in the strongest terms the suicide terrorist attacks on Monday, 4 July, which took place in three different cities across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Medina, Jeddah and Qatif.
“Only the Hungarians can decide who they want to live with, not Brussels”, Head of the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister Antal Rogán said at a press conference held during the recess of Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting after President of the Republic János Áder set the date for the Government-initiated national referendum on the mandatory relocation quotas for 2 October.
János Áder has set 2 October 2016 as the date for the national referendum on the EU’s mandatory relocation of non-Hungarian citizens to Hungary.
György Bakondi, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, told Hungarian television channel M1 in its evening programme that border protection has been significantly strengthened, a number of police officers and soldiers have arrived and the range of equipment available to them has also been extended.
Bence Rétvári, State Minister for Parliament at the Ministry of Human Resources, has told national news agency MTI that the cause of a fight between young migrants at the Fót children’s home is as yet unknown.
The V4 are stronger than ever, the challenges of the recent past have made this regional cooperation even stronger, László Szabó, Minister of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said on Monday in Budapest.
The Hungarian authorities will introduce "in-depth" border defence at 0.00 hours on Tuesday along the Serbian and Croatian border, György Bakondi, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister announced at a press conference.
