Szijjarto: Bulgaria's migration proposal 'alarming'

Bulgaria's most recent proposal on migration is "alarming", Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Monday, arguing that it was based on the mandatory redistribution of migrants across the European Union and would pose a "serious danger" to Europe. Speaking to international reporters on the sidelines of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels, Szijjarto said the proposal put forward by Bulgaria, which holds the bloc's rotating presidency, suggests that the EU should redistribute migrants among its member states if it were faced with a migration wave similar to the one seen in 2015. Bulgaria's proposal essentially means that "if enough of you come, you'll be distributed; so a lot of you should come," Szijjarto said. "This constitutes an invitation to migrants, which is against Europe's security interests," the minister said.
