Hungary: EU migrant quotas are 'blackmail'
Foreign minister: 'We will not succumb'
05 May, 19:55According to the proposal, if Hungary was to decide to reject the 2,000 refugees as imposed by the EU quotas, it would have to pay 500 million euros. This proposal is a 'dead end', Szijjártó said, underlining the country's position that it is not the competence of Brussels but of Hungarians to decide whom to welcome. Hungary's Supreme Court judged in favour of the Government's initiative to hold a referendum with the question "Do you want to allow the European Union to mandate the resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens in Hungary without the approval of parliament?". The referendum is to be held between September and October.(ANSA).
