Sudinfo: European Commission's Stance on Hungary's Migrant Bus Proposal
European Commission's Reaction to Hungary's Threat
Sudinfo reveals that the European Commission has expressed serious concerns regarding Hungary's decision to potentially transport asylum seekers by bus to Brussels. A spokesperson stated this is 'unacceptable' because it violates European laws and undermines the principles of cooperation within the EU.
Background on Hungary's Proposal
The threat was escalated by Hungarian State Secretary Bence Rétvári last week, as he posed in front of buses labelled 'Röszke-Bruxelles', offering a free one-way ticket to Brussels for migrants. A video of this press conference sparked outrage in Belgium, with local officials requesting the blockade of these buses at the border.
EU's Commitment to Legislation Enforcement
- The European Commission has reached out to Hungary to ensure the threat is not executed.
- Germany has intensified tensions by announcing temporary border controls starting September 16 to combat illegal migration.
- The Schengen Code allows for such temporary controls but emphasizes they must be necessary and proportional.
