Szijjarto: Current draft of UN migration package 'biggest threat to Hungary yet'

In its current form, the United Nations' draft package on migration poses the biggest threat to Hungary yet, because if adopted, it would grant illegal migrants access to the same services that Hungarians enjoy, Hungary's foreign minister said on Wednesday. Peter Szijjarto spoke to MTI ahead of the next round of intergovernmental talks on the UN's migration package in New York. Hungary will never approve the package in its current form, the minister said. But if the country does not fight it, the UN will pass the package and the government will have to give illegal migrants access to the same services that Hungarians "who have been paying their taxes honestly for decades" have access to, Szijjarto argued. "This is unacceptable," he said.
