The Hungarian government has announced that it is prepared to offer free one-way tickets to Brussels for migrants and asylum seekers attempting to enter the European Union. This decision comes as a response to recent fines imposed on Hungary for its restrictive asylum policies by European institutions. The Hungarian administration, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, expressed its discontent with the EU’s stance, especially after the European Court ruled against Hungary’s handling of asylum seekers.
Hungarian officials have indicated that they would provide transport to migrants who wish to go to Brussels, emphasizing that they are ready to comply with the EU’s migration policies by transferring these individuals directly to the European capital. This move is part of Hungary’s broader critique of EU migration policies, which the Orbán government believes disproportionately affect countries on the bloc’s external borders.
This policy has sparked controversy and is seen as a direct challenge to Brussels’ efforts to enforce a unified asylum system across EU member states.
