The European Union has been struggling with migration for six years. He talked about the employment of illegal immigrants, the terrorists hiding among them and the protection of the Hungarian border with security policy expert György Nógrádi Gábor Tóth for Vasarnap.hu. We quote from the interview.
...- Europe has been struggling with the migration problem since 2015. We can remember then that German politics said "wir schaffen das": that is, we will cope with the difficulties. They also voiced the idea of "Willkommenkultur". Today, we can see that these ideas have failed... The idea that young, talented, language-speaking, skilled or graduate immigrants want to work in the European Union does not hold up. Today's official German government documents state that 50 percent of migrants - five years after their arrival - refuse to work.
– What is happening now at the European borders?
- Migrants continue to pour towards the European borders. The situation at the Hungarian border is also getting more and more intense. We rarely talk about it, but it is a fact that some of the migrants heading for Europe are still sent by terrorists. However, we have no idea what percentage this might be. The situation looks like the migrants somehow end up in Turkey, where the Turkish policy uses them for blackmail. That is, they are asking for more and more money from the European Union for their detention. Partly because of this, the conflicts between Turkey and Greece have also renewed... Among the human smuggling routes, the Balkan route, which crosses Hungary's southern border, is extremely important. We see that our neighbors are also awake. The Slovenians are closing their border, and further north the Austrians are doing the same. They are already closing the Hungarian border, not only with the police and gendarmerie, but also with the army.
By now, their position is that no migrants should enter Austria, and that those who are here should go home. The solution is hampered by the fact that the European Union's policy is still not uniform on the issue of migration. The EU is made up of 27 countries, but only five member states are willing to accept – in small numbers – migrants.
- Human trafficking has also been intensively reported for seven years. Why can't international intelligence and other authorities destroy these organizations?
– The problem is the following: on paper, data exchange between intelligence agencies of different nationalities works perfectly, but in reality it does not. In world history, everyone only wants to get information: not to give it. Once you look at the Turkish press, you will find strange advertisements in it, such as "I undertake the transportation of people from Turkey to Bulgaria or from Turkey to Germany". If an Albanian, a Serb, or any human smuggler is caught, it's always the little people whose cars can take four to six people across the border. However, they cannot catch the real bosses of human trafficking organizations...
…The leaders of human trafficking have excellent political connections in many countries… A couple of years ago, the Italian Prime Minister at the time said that the solution was extremely simple: let's intercept the ships carrying migrants coming to Europe, sink them and bring the migrants ashore. I think the idea was brilliant, it should be changed at one point, the migrants should not be brought ashore to Europe, but transported back to North Africa. If the European Union really sunk the ships, then after the third ship was sunk, the fourth ship would no longer set sail , because it would simply be profitable to transport people. Yet this is not happening…
