Fidesz to call for dropping 'migrant visa' plans in new EP

Hungary's ruling Fidesz will initiate withdrawing plans for a migrant visa scheme in the new European Parliament, Balazs Hidveghi, MEP-elect of the party, said on Monday. Under the scheme visas would be issued to immigrants in a fast-track procedure at embassies and consular missions of EU member states outside the bloc without any security checks, Hidveghi told a press conference. "The aim is to open up the gates of Europe to millions of potential immigrants," he said.
