Fidesz: 'Pro-migration majority forced through' EP migrant visa proposal

The "pro-migration majority" in Brussels has "forced" the proposal on migrant visas through the European Parliament, Balazs Hidveghi, the Fidesz party's communications chief, said on Tuesday. Their aim, the ruling party official told public media, was to "import even more migrants into Europe". In a vote on Tuesday, the proposal was accepted with 429 votes in favour, 194 against and 41 abstentions. The resolution concerns the creation of a visa for migrants making asylum requests at EU embassies in countries outside the bloc. The visa would allow asylum seekers to enter the EU so they can submit their requests for asylum. Hidveghi said the visa, which was rejected in a vote in November before being re-submitted, "brought a favourable result this time round for … the pro-migration majority in the EP." "It seems when it comes to migration issues, Brussels will call for votes again and again until they get an outcome which suits them".
