Hungary’s PM Orban launches campaign for European elections with anti-migrant plan

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has launched his party’s campaign for European Parliament elections in May by presenting a seven-point plan against immigration. On Friday, Orban called for migration to be controlled by national governments, not EU bureaucrats, repeating his view that no country should be forced to accept immigrants against its will. Orban also urged the EU to stop funding civic groups that support asylum seekers and said “no one in Europe should suffer discrimination” because they are Christians. Orban also lashed out again at EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, saying he was “firmly responsible” for Britain’s Brexit morass and “the migrant invasion,” AP reported.
