On Thursday, the government held a government meeting lasting more than 10 hours. The reason for this is that the war in Ukraine threatens not only our economy, but also our security, said the Prime Minister. The food supply of many African countries has been threatened, and due to the food crisis, the government expects that the migration pressure on Hungary's southern borders will continue to increase.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants may set off for Hungary and Europe in the coming weeks and months. We are already feeling the forewind of this. The number of illegal border crossers has increased. Their behavior is increasingly violent and brutal.

said the prime minister. There have already been armed clashes on the Serbian side, which also claimed a fatality. The Prime Minister said that it is not uncommon for them to use their weapons to try to enter the territory of Hungary. Therefore, the Hungarian government decided to strengthen our southern borders and protect the safety of the Hungarians living there.

We are setting up border hunting units that will protect your safety in cooperation with the police

Viktor Orbán said. In the first step, 2,200 border hunters will be trained and put into service. Their number will later be increased to 4,000. The decree to this effect was signed by the Prime Minister today.
