Fidesz MEP decries 'leftist proposal' to set up legal migration routes

Autumn in Brussels has started with a decidedly pro-migration bent, Fidesz MEP Balazs Hidveghi said on Thursday, citing a proposal supported by left-wingers in the European Parliament to establish legal migration corridors into the European Union. Hidveghi said on Facebook that the aim of their proposal was to make up for falling birth numbers and a dwindling workforce in parts of the bloc. "Only a few right-wing MEPs remained rational," he said, noting unemployment of around 15 percent in Spain and Greece. "This might not be the right time to flood the continent with thousands of immigrants," he added.
