Letting in juvenile migrants may pose national security risk

In his Wednesday speech in Parliament, Gábor Vona reacted to the events taking place last weekend and early this week. Talking in Brussels last weekend, Minister Antal Rogán admitted that the government was ready to act in contradiction with their earlier communication and were open to let young migrants in Hungary.

As it was reported earlier, the minister said the government was open to the idea of letting 14-18-year-old migrants be allocated to Hungary. By this statement, the minister also admitted that Viktor Orbán broke under the pressure of the EU, was defeated and had to give up on a fundamental part of his migration policy. As Jobbik’s president put it, the biggest trouble is that the prime minister led Hungary into this fight and made his personal problem, i.e., his stubborn and disturbed personality bring about a difficulty which has to be borne by Hungary as a whole.

Mr Vona also explained the government’s current obscure communication: the Parliament passed the legislation to legally seal our borders on March 7, and the government conducted a media campaign to take credit for the decision which now they have to abandon.

The amendment also impacted the child protection act whereby 14-18-year-old youngsters were assigned to transit zones where they were supposed to wait until their applications are resolved. Addressing the Parliament on Tuesday, Gábor Vona and Dániel Z. Kárpát both inquired into why the government had changed its mind over the past two months. Why did Fidesz support the legislation then and why has it become so important for them to soften up the law after Mr Orbán’s visit to Brussels?

In their responses, both Csaba Dömötör and János Lázár admitted that they were open to the idea of letting juvenile migrants in Hungary.

“Of course, Jobbik will not back this approach as the party believes that it would increase national security risks.”

These young people are just about to enter adulthood and they come from a culture where families are often established at that age. János Lázár was talking about 30-40 individuals, which is yet another mistruth, since upper limits are not stipulated in the above law. Mr Vona believes that the minister failed to exercise the appropriate circumspection because the law would allow immigrants to come en masse and, based on what we know about the process, nothing prevents older individuals from falsifying documents and claiming to be a minor, thus getting into Hungary.

Another problem is that family reunification would entail even more immigration. This is an issue hushed up by the government, which fails to mention that family reunification would enable a lot more people to settle in Hungary than those coming with the first wave allowed by this new amendment. Jobbik maintains its position that “neither rich nor poor, neither young nor old migrants should be allowed to come to Hungary”.

Jobbik wants to help refugees fleeing from the wars in their homelands so that they could survive and return to their countries as soon as possible, but such help must be provided outside Hungary’s borders.

The party’s president announced that they re-submitted the Constitutional bill endorsed by all Jobbik MPs. Emphasizing that Fidesz MPs had already turned down the same bill without any explanation several times, Mr Vona once again asked them and, of course, Prime Minister Orbán to back the legislation this time, thus providing real security for Hungary.
