On Friday, former President Donald Trump expressed his support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, emphasizing that European leaders should take his stance on immigration seriously. Trump stated that the ongoing influx of immigrants into Europe is having detrimental effects, noting an increase in crime rates across the continent. He highlighted Hungary’s low crime rate as a positive outcome of Orbán’s policies.
Trump remarked, “He was right about immigration. They were wrong,” suggesting that Europe’s approach to immigration is transforming the continent significantly. He warned that if European leaders do not act, the essence of Europe could be lost.
Orbán reinforced his position by explaining Hungary’s strict immigration system. According to him, the country currently has zero illegal immigrants because anyone wishing to enter must have permission from Hungarian authorities. He characterized this regulation as straightforward and necessary for maintaining order.
Additionally, Orbán addressed potential repercussions Hungary might face from the European Union for its immigration policies, including financial sanctions. He mentioned the heavy fines imposed on Hungary for not allowing migrants to apply for asylum, highlighting the complexities of the current European immigration landscape.
This situation continues to evolve, and updates will follow.
