The Hungarians continue to say no to the mandatory resettlement quota, the Center for Fundamental Rights announced, reminding us that Brussels' 2016 "forced resettlement concept" is unworkable and does not enjoy the support of the member states.

The center reminded that the national referendum on mandatory resettlement quotas seven years ago "created an unprecedented unity among politically active voters": 98.36 percent of Hungarians who cast a valid vote rejected the distribution of illegal immigrants flowing into Europe according to quotas. In other words, more people (3,362,224) voted against the quotas than supported Hungary's EU accession in 2003 (3,056,027).

According to the Center for Fundamental Rights, although the left-wing parties supported the reception, the Hungarians formulated a clear message, so the government raised the border lock to curb illegal immigration, and then took legal steps to effectively represent the Hungarian national interest.

According to the Center for Fundamental Rights, "European public opinion also seems to be waking up."

This is also shown by the data of the Századvég Europe Project research, according to which four-fifths of the citizens of the community consider the influx of illegal immigrants to be clearly worrying. Moreover, it is true for all regions of the Union that, according to the opinion of the majority of the population, Europe must preserve its Christian culture and traditions.

Citing the research of the Nézőpont Institute, they pointed out: "77 percent of Hungarians are still against the European Union sending immigrants to the territory of Hungary."

They also mentioned that a referendum similar to the Hungarian one will soon be held in Poland, and the possibility of initiating a referendum in France was also raised. However, the "pro-migrant forces" in power "did not listen to the voice of the European people" and continue to insist on mandatory distribution with quotas.

When presenting the migration data, the center also reported that in 2022, around 330,000 illegal border crossings were detected at the external borders of the European Union. This is the highest figure since 2016 and represents a 64 percent increase compared to 2021. Another drastic increase is expected this year, they said, adding that the number of thwarted illegal border crossing attempts in Hungary reached 130,000 in 2023.

"Mass, illegal immigration is not only a European problem, it poisons the entire Western civilization," he emphasized for Basic Rights, noting that the radical left-wing American Biden administration "seems to deliberately incite modern-day immigration worldwide."

The Center for Fundamental Rights teamed up with analysts from the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) to prepare a policy study that aims to explore the causes of mass immigration, expose the supporters of migration, present the tools they use, possible solutions and the broader political-ideological-cultural background. description.

In this regard, they indicated that AFPI was created by former members of Donald Trump's administration, "with the undisclosed purpose of preparing the legal, intellectual and policy ground for the return of President Trump."
