Viktor Orbán has said that he sees immigration as the most important subject to be discussed at the European Union summit starting on Thursday. In a video uploaded on his Facebook page prior to the summit, the Prime Minister said that Hungary’s interests will be asserted, and that Hungary will not allow its border fence to be dismantled or migrants to be admitted to the country.

In his message, which was recorded in Brussels, Mr. Orbán said that it has now been revealed that there are “two thousand mercenaries, an entire army of mercenaries” working for George Soros against the Hungarian government.

He added that there is no shortage of such people in Brussels either, adding that their aim is to make Hungary an immigrant country, to dismantle the border fence and to allow in migrants.

“We shall not allow this to happen, and in today's negotiations we shall assert Hungary's interests”, the Prime Minister declared.

From Thursday the heads of state or government of the European Union’s Member States are attending a two-day summit in Brussels.
