Hungary’s Foreign Minister - Péter Szijjártó
Why the EU's migration policy is the most serious threat to security in Europe. Zeinab Badawi talks to Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó.
As demands to relocate migrants across Europe continue to grow, Hungary seems more and more at odds with the EU's policy on migration. After losing a legal challenge at the European Court of Justice which overruled its objections to the compulsory fixed-quota scheme, Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has accused the court of playing politics. He tells Zeinab Badawi that
the EU's migration policy is the most serious threat to security in Europe and the real battle is only just beginning.
