Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called for massive change in how the EU addresses migration. His speech at the European Parliament provoked the ire of many. Some lawmakers called him out for his stance on Russia.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban delivered a speech to the European Parliament on Wednesday as part of Hungary’s rotating presidency of the European Council.
The right-wing nationalist was greeted in Strasbourg, France, by protest over his increasingly authoritarian rule in his home country and his friendly relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who has told top EU officials toboycott meetings organized by the Hungarian presidency, slammed Orban after his remarks.
She questioned Orban’s dedication to curbing irregular migration by pointing out he had granted amnesty to more than 1,000 human traffickers.
“This is not fighting illegal migration in Europe,” von der Leyen said. “This is just throwing problems over your neighbor’s fence.”
Russia is creating refugee crises in order to destabilise the West. Urban is Putin’s proxy and therefore supporting him in that. This is just pure hypocrisy and all the morons that fall for this shit should really be ashamed.
