V4-länderna (Polen, Tjeckien, Slovakien, Ungern) mot västeuropas flyktingvurmande

The prime minister pointed out that contrary to the previously mentioned economic factors, the EU’s immigration policy is not working, “it failed spectacularly”.

“It’s clear that European people don’t want immigration, while some European leaders are still enforcing the failed immigration policy. The Hungarian standpoint is that we have to protect the borders, migration must be stopped. We shouldn’t bring migrants here, but we should bring the help where it’s needed,” Orban stressed.

Morawiecki said the immigration issue, which he called a matter of national sovereignty, was “getting even hotter” in the EU “and it seems that it is going in our direction.”

The two leaders again rejected EU efforts to resettle refugees among members of the bloc, while emphasizing their contributions to rebuilding efforts in the Middle East aimed at keeping more people at home.

Morawiecki said that the European Union and its executive arm, the European Commission, did not have a “treaty mandate” to force "sovereign member states" to take in refugees.

"It is up to individual states whether they want to accept someone or not, and we hold very firmly to this position," Morawiecki added.

Poland follows a policy of providing assistance to those in need “on the spot,” Morawiecki also said.

Sebastian Kurz, who heads a right-wing coalition government with the far-right Freedom Party is strongly against the view that migrants who come to a European Union country should be distributed across the member states under a quota system.

Mr Kurz told the German daily Bild am Sonntag: "Forcing states to take refugees doesn't take Europe any further. The discussion makes no sense.

"If we continue this way we will divide the European Union and the Member States will decide on their own how many people they will welcome.”

He added that quotas were meaningless because migrants who want to come to Europe do not want to go to Bulgaria or Hungary, but to Germany, Austria or Sweden".

Det hålls val i Ungern den 8 april och Orbán vill vinna en tredje mandatperiod genom att profilera sig som kristendomens främste försvarare i Europa.

- Mörka moln hopar sig över Europa på grund av invandringen. Länder kommer att upphöra att existera, väst kommer att falla, medan Europa inte ens inser att det har invaderats, sade Orbán i sitt årliga tal till nationen.

Enligt honom är det Västeuropa och politiker i Bryssel, Berlin och Paris som bär skulden för det här.

- De vill att vi ska anamma den politik som gjort dem till invandringsländer, som har försvagat kristendomen och bidragit till spridningen av islam, sade Orbán.

- Kristendomen är Europas sista hopp, sade Orbán till sina anhängare som hade samlats för att lyssna på honom i Várkert Bazár, i slottsparken i Budapest.

Med massinvandring, speciellt från Afrika "kommer våra värsta mardrömmar att besannas. Väst ser inte att Europa är på väg att invaderas", sade Orbán.

Orbán framställer sig själv som den som kan rädda det kristna Europa från den här invasionen.
