According to EU Helpers, the decision has been verified by Bence Retvari, State Secretary for the Interior Ministry.
He stated at a council meeting on the revision of the EU's immigration and asylum package that the long-term population makeup of Europe would determine its future, security, and level of economic competitiveness.
According to About Hungary, Retvari stated that his nation believes that consensus-based decision-making is critical for strategic issues like the migration component, emphasizing that qualified majority decisions would bypass individual member countries, which in turn would still have to handle crisis situations.
He also emphasized that, as of this time, 135,000 illegal immigrants had been apprehended by his nation at its southern border. According to these numbers, there are more migrants in detention than there were in all of last year.
According to the State Secretary, the newly agreed EU draft crisis rule is not about securing the borders but rather about the continued settlement of unauthorized immigrants. He referred to the rule as yet another "migrant magnet" that Brussels had pushed through.
Balázs Orbán, the political counselor to the prime minister, believed that the recent news from Lampedusa, which is dealing with an influx of migrants, was a blatant indication of the failure of the EU's immigration treaty, which had been passed against Hungary and Poland's reservations.
Orbán emphasized that Hungary's position is that all asylum claims should be evaluated outside of Europe, illegal immigration must be stopped before it reaches EU nations, and assistance must be provided to countries of origin and transit.
He expressed the expectation that a new head will be required at the EU institutions the following year, when the upcoming Parliamentary elections are scheduled to take place.
György Bakondi, the chief security advisor to the prime minister, stated last month that since 2015, police in the nation have detained about a million migrants along its southern border.
Additionally, Bakondi emphasized that authorities have been apprehending an increasing number of people, with a total of 27,600 persons being detained in the first quarter of this year, more than 36,400 in the second, and 43,300 in the third.
