Gulyas: Hungary refuses to budge on migrant redistribution scheme

Hungary is sticking to its position on the European Union's mandatory migrant redistribution mechanism and will continue to reject the scheme, Gergely Gulyas, head of the Prime Minister's Office, said in Brussels. Decisions concerning the handling of migrants have to be made at a national, rather than a European level, Gulyas told Hungarian journalists. The PM's Office chief criticised the latest migration proposal put forward by Bulgaria, which holds the bloc's rotating presidency, saying that it failed to take into consideration member states that have consistently opposed a mandatory redistribution scheme without an upper limit.
