Fidesz calls on mayor to reveal 'secret migration pact'

Hungary's ruling Fidesz party has called on Gyorgy Gemesi, the Mayor of Godollo, north-east of Budapest, "to reveal what kind of immigration pacts he is keeping from" local residents. Gemesi's party rejects the charge of entering into a secret pact on migration. Fidesz MP Laszlo Vecsey accused the mayor of "forming an alliance with one of Europe's most extreme pro-migration political groups". Reports say that Gemesi's party, Uj Kezdet, in February joined the European Democratic Party. Vecsey said the party sits in the European Parliament with "an extreme liberal group that fights for the introduction of the migrant quota". Uj Kezdet said in a statement on Monday that it categorically rejected reports in Magyar Nemzet and Echo TV that it had joined Guy Verhofstadt's liberal ALDE group in the EP.
