The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, has stressed the Granada Summit after answering questions from laSexta on whether or not there is a migration agreement. Orbán, in a harsh tone, has responded to Ana Pastor by ensuring that the European Union has “violated” and “forced” Hungary and Poland to accept the recent agreements on the migration and asylum pact, since both countries voted against but were approved without their approval.

“There is no possibility of having any type of commitment or agreement on migration, politically it is impossible“, he stated at the Summit of EU Heads of State and Government in Granada. “Not only today, but speaking in general for the coming years. Legally we have been violated, we have been forced to choose something we do not want,” added the Hungarian prime minister.

The Twenty-seven plan to approve the so-called Granada Declaration at their meeting this Friday, but the position of Hungary and also Poland can derail the text, which in principle would include a chapter on migration. This agreement, promoted by Giorgia Meloni, is tough on immigration policy, but seems insufficient for Viktor Orbán.

The obstacle, as European sources have explained to EFE, is that Budapest and Warsaw are trying to include a phrase in the document that says that the Twenty-seven agreements on migration must be taken unanimously, a controversial statement because legally they are taken by qualified majority.

For the moment, the president of the European Commission has already responded to the Hungarian prime minister. “We must be clear: we have our international obligations, we will fulfill them. We have done it in the past, we do it now, but it will be us as Europeans who decide who enters Europe and under what circumstances, and not the traffickers,” she asserted.
