Szijjarto: Swedish PM 'forcing migrants' on Hungary

The Swedish prime minister is a known "pro-migration politician" who is now "trying to force illegal migrants on Hungary and punish Hungarians for saying no to mandatory resettlement quotas", Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in a statement to MTI on Monday, commenting on Stefan Lofven's remarks in a Swedish daily slamming Hungary's migration policy. In a statement published on the internet site of the Dagens Nyheter, Lofven said those refusing to shoulder responsibility in the EU should "pay a price". Those states "cannot receive the same EU funding they receive today. Hungary is one of the member states getting the most. A country that is given one of the largest funding in the bloc cannot shun responsibility when it comes to migration," Lofven said.
