Orban outlines Fidesz's plan to stop immigration

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday outlined his Fidesz party's programme aimed at stopping immigration. He called for stripping "Brussels bureaucrats" of their power to manage the migration issue and giving that competency back to the European Union's member states. He said no country should be forced to take in migrants against its will and no one should be admitted to the EU without valid documents. The EU should also stop issuing prepaid debit cards and "migrant visas" to migrants, Orban said. Neither should the bloc give any more money to organisations linked to US financier George Soros, which the prime minister said promoted immigration. Instead, he said, these groups should pay for member states' border protection measures.
