More troubles seem to be looming ahead against the European
Union as Britain prepares to leave. This is due to the way in which the
leadership of the EU imposes asylum seekers against the wish and willingness of
member states, more so, countries in Eastern Europe.
As a result Hungary is now beginning to revolt against the
union’s immigration policy, as the government sends letters to each household
to know if they would accept the government placing foreigners under
surveillance.
The government under the leadership of Viktor Orban has
prepared questionnaire, titled “Let’s stop Brussels!”, is now asking what the
Hungarian government should do if Brussels permit “illegal immigrants” to freely
enter the continent.
The country is taking this precautionary measures due to the
numerous terrorists attack across the European Continent, as it asks "what
Hungary should do" as "despite a series of recent terror attacks in
Europe…Brussels wants to force Hungary to let in illegal immigrants".
The options are: "Illegal immigrants should be kept
under supervision until the authorities decide in their cases" and
"We should allow illegal immigrants to move freely in Hungary".
According to Bence Tuzson, a senior government official, he
stated that: “Big decisions and struggles lie ahead of Hungary in the coming
period. Hungary can only win those struggles if it feels the support of the
country.”
The public assessment, part of the “National Consultation
2017” initiative started by Prime Minister Orban’s right wing government,
follows the introduction of new laws allowing the indefinite detention of
migrants in container camps.
The government is also building large scale border fences to
stop North African and Middle Eastern refugees from just walking into the
country.
Last October, 98% of those who went to the poll chose to
reject the EU’s migrant allocations in Hungary, however, the election was
nullified because there was a turnout of just 42%.
Non-governmental organisations are spared in the
questionnaire as Hungarians are also being asked for their opinion on NGOs,
that the government feels are backing illegal migration and want to undermine
the country’s sovereignty.
In 2015, it also launched a 'National Consultation'
campaign, asking households about "immigration and terrorism".
But that questionnaire was deemed to be xenophobic by the
United Nations refugee agency UNHCR, which was “shocked” by its content.
