EU to utilize full authority to prevent Orbán from transporting migrants to Brussels

Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary, has refused to pay a €200 million fine imposed by the European Court of Justice, leading to threats of retaliation. The European Commission has warned Hungary against bussing irregular migrants to Brussels, stating that it would violate EU law and undermine the security of the Schengen area. The Commission has vowed to use all its legal powers to prevent Hungary from acting on this threat and ensure that EU laws are respected.

The dispute between Hungary and the EU stems from a ruling by the European Court of Justice that found Hungary guilty of serious breaches of EU law in relation to its restrictions on the right to asylum. The court imposed a €200 million fine on Hungary, which the country has refused to pay. In response, Hungarian officials have threatened to transport irregular migrants from the Hungarian Serbian borders to Brussels as a form of retaliation. The European Commission has deemed this threat unacceptable and is working to prevent Hungary from carrying out this plan.

The potential bussing of migrants from Hungary to Brussels has raised concerns about the functioning of the Schengen Area, an achievement of the EU that allows for passport-free travel across member states. The threat of uncoordinated border checks and restrictions poses a risk to the integrity of the Schengen Area. The Commission has stated that it is prepared to introduce temporary restrictions, if necessary, to uphold EU law and protect the security of the area.

Belgian authorities have strongly condemned Hungary’s threat to transport migrants to Brussels and have called on the European Commission to respond decisively. Hungary’s actions have been labelled as provocative, and Belgium has stated that it will not grant access to migrants transferred in this way. The ongoing dispute between Hungary and the EU highlights the challenges of maintaining cooperation and trust within the bloc, particularly in relation to migration policies.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has criticized the ECJ ruling and accused Brussels of prioritizing the interests of illegal migrants over European citizens. The escalating conflict between Hungary and the EU reflects broader tensions within the bloc regarding migration and asylum policies. The threat to transport migrants to Brussels is seen as a form of protest against the fines imposed by the ECJ and Hungary’s demands for reimbursement for border protection costs.

The dispute over the bussing of migrants is occurring alongside a separate conflict over Hungary’s National Card scheme, which has been extended to Russian and Belarusian citizens. The European Commission has raised concerns about the implications of this decision for the overall security of the Schengen Area. The ongoing disputes between Hungary and the EU highlight the challenges of maintaining unity and cooperation within the bloc in the face of differing national interests and priorities.
