At the meeting, the parties reviewed the most important issues on the current agenda of European politics and determined that the mass migration that has been ongoing since 2015 undermines the social and cultural structures that have developed in Europe. Václav Klaus reiterated: Millions of rationally thinking Europeans, including himself, support Hungary’s and Viktor Orbán’s courageous stand with relation to the migration crisis.
