Hungary’s anti-immigrant government signaled Friday that it is serious about implementing a plan to provide asylum seekers free one-way travel to Brussels, a measure meant to pressure the European Union into relenting on heavy fines against the country for its restrictive asylum policies.

At a news conference in the capital Budapest, State Secretary Bence Rétvári claimed the EU wanted to force Hungary to allow “illegal migrants” across its borders, and said the country would “offer these illegal migrants, voluntarily, free of charge, one-way travel to Brussels.”

      It is, unironically, the same group of political consultants advising the leadership in both countries.

      Literally. They are all forming some kind of axis… of evil…

      Note to that Katalin Novák, part of Orban’s party, had to resign due to the fallout from pardoning an asshole who was in jail for pressuring child victims to withdraw their testimony against a literal pedophile.

        Yikes, I can’t imagine the kind of void you have to possess where your conscious should belong in order to do something like that
