Szijjarto: Brussels sealing migrant 'livelihood' rights 'dangerous'

In a resolution adopted last week, the European Parliament made "two extremely dangerous statements" that go against Hungary's interests, Peter Szijjárto, the foreign minister, said on Monday. Brussels wants to recognise the right of anyone to travel as a migrant in order to secure a livelihood, "which is extremely dangerous", he told a press conference. The European Union is ripping up the rulebook on border protection and sovereignty, he added. The EP resolution also aims to ban the return of migrants to where they came from while entitling them "to all kinds of services regardless of their legal status". Szijjarto said African aspirations coincided with the "self-abnegating" position of Brussels. "Differences in geography and interest are not apparent."
