Orban: Hungary to maintain anti-immigration policy

Hungary needs to maintain an anti-immigration policy because "only Hungarians can replace Hungarians", Prime Minister Viktor Orban told the 9th plenary session of the Hungarian Diaspora Council in Budapest on Thursday. "A country affected by population decline must not live under the illusion that it can solve demographic issues without making its own efforts," Orban said. The government will continue its fight against migration because it is a global phenomenon which "will stay with us", considering that "Africa has only started moving", he added. Orban said the supporters of migration accused Hungarians of having a "heart of stone", adding, however, that Hungarians were actually willing to help. "Help must be taken to where the trouble is instead of bringing the trouble here," he added.
