In his remarks at a League party event in northern Italy, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban referred, once again raising the stakes, to the management of illegal immigration.

“If illegal migration to Europe continues, from Budapest we will transfer the migrants to Brussels and leave them in front of the various offices,” Orban said.

“In Hungary the number of migrants is zero, we are not leaving our country in the hands of others. Anyone who wants to enter our country has to wait for permission, outside our borders,” he added, applauded by League supporters.

Finally, Viktor Orban stressed that “in Hungary the mother is a woman and the father is a man and this will not change, despite the opposition of the international left”.
