Orban: EU's new migration proposal 'unacceptable'

The European Union has a new proposal on migration which is against Hungary's interests because it is still centred around the mandatory relocation of migrants across the bloc, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said after talks with Boyko Borisov, his Bulgarian counterpart, in Sofia on Monday. The number of migrants allocated to member states under a mandatory resettlement scheme keeps growing, Orban told a press conference. Under the most recent proposal, Hungary would have to take in 10,000 people a year rather than the 1,000 that was to be allocated to the country originally, he argued. Orban said it looked like the EU was proposing a resettlement quota scheme without an upper limit.
