A briefing document from the offices of Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orb\u00e1n, has slammed Brussels for what it says is the continuing punishment of the central European nation for its refusal to follow EU mandated immigration policies as the US says it wants to take \u201cfull control\u201d of its own borders.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hungary has been ordered to pay a lump sum of 200 million euros as well as a daily fine of 1 million euro for failing to comply with asylum policies dictated by Brussels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister\u2019s office states that the release of the new<\/a> National Security Strategy from the Trump White House \u201chas created panic\u201d in Europe as the administration signals that the EU could be seen as a less attractive business partner due to political policies, which the White House says do not align with American values.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The briefing note continues that the new strategy document \u201cindicates that the Trump administration wants to completely restructure the US-EU relationship\u201d and that its contents are \u201cextremely critical of the drift on the part of the EU toward demographic replacement\u201d which the Trump administration \u201cbelieves will fundamentally change the nature of Europe and could make it a difficult partner to work with in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Security Strategy also places emphasis on strict border controls with the Trump administration saying it was \u201cfull control\u201d over who enters its territories.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want a world in which migration is not merely \u201corderly\u201d but one in which sovereign countries work together to stop rather than facilitate destabilizing population flows, and have full control over whom they do and do not admit.\u201d<\/p>\n

It further states that the Trump administration wants to \u201cprotect this country, its people, its territory, its economy, and its way of life from military attack and hostile foreign influence, whether espionage, predatory trade practices, drug and human trafficking, destructive propaganda and influence operations, cultural subversion, or any other threat to our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to this, Hungary has sent a warning to the White House saying that \u201cthe EU\u2019s approach to migration is even more extreme than many in the United States understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCountries that resist the mass migration policies imposed from Brussels, like Hungary, are actively punished for pursuing the same policies that the Trump White House is endorsing.\u201d it said, pointing to the million euro per day fine imposed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the country.<\/p>\n

The ECJ has determined<\/a> that Hungary has \u201cfailed to comply with the rules of EU law on, inter alia, procedures for granting international protection and returning illegally staying third-country nationals.\u201d<\/p>\n

It says that this consists of \u201crestricting access to the international protection procedure, unlawfully detaining applicants for international protection in transit zones and failing to observe their right to remain in Hungarian territory pending a final decision on their appeal against the rejection of their application, as well as the removal of illegally staying third-country nationals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Orb\u00e1n government called on the US to \u201cmore closely examine\u201d the \u201cnature\u201d of Brussel\u2019s migration policy, saying that the Trump administration is \u201ccurrently underwriting the continent\u2019s security.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new US security strategy also underpins the White House\u2019s commitment to \u201coppose elite-driven,anti-democratic restrictions on core liberties in Europe, the Anglosphere, and<\/p>\n

the rest of the democratic world, especially among our allies.\u201d<\/p>\n

It says it also rejects the \u201cdisastrous \u201cclimate change\u201d and \u201cNet Zero\u201d ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the United States, and subsidize our adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A briefing document from the offices of Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orb\u00e1n, has slammed Brussels for what it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":234154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[9,10,356,13,14,6,25126,11,12,15,16,5,7,8,26163,65,66,67],"class_list":{"0":"post-234153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-hungary","15":"tag-latest-news","16":"tag-latestnews","17":"tag-main-news","18":"tag-mainnews","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-top-stories","21":"tag-topstories","22":"tag-viktor-orban","23":"tag-world","24":"tag-world-news","25":"tag-worldnews"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115724298874783538","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
