Gulyas: Migrant visas enhance danger of terrorism

Migrant visas enhance the risk of terrorist attacks similar to the shooting in Strasbourg on Tuesday, Gergely Gulyas, the head of the Prime Minister's Office, told a regular press conference on Thursday. The European Parliament accepted the proposal of humanitarian visas 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. The decision is "against common sense", and the Hungarian government rejects it, Gulyas said. The fact that the resolution was rejected once and then re-submitted with "fake amendments" so that the "pro-migration majority" of the EP could vote for it "paints a sad picture" of European democracy, he said. Instead, the body should declare that migration must be stopped, he said.
