Outspoken Viktor Orban accused Angela Merkel and eurocrats of “destroying” the continent with their open door migration policies as he blasted the current influx of asylum seekers.
The firebrand Hungarian leader made the remarks as his country gears up for a crunch referendum over whether or not to accept the imposition of mandatory migrant quotas.
In a controversial speech Mr Orban questioned the ability of Muslims to ever integrate into Western society and also implied that Brussels was being cruel by encouraging migrants to leave their homelands and head to Europe.
He said: “The uncontrolled influx destroys Europe and it doesn’t even help the migrants. It’s better for everyone to stay in their own territory.
“We are not here to solve the migration problem, but a historical one. We, Europeans, Hungarians, Christians, have to describe our attitude towards immigration.” [Daily Express] Read more
