Hungary's prime minister Viktor Orban has described the arrival of asylum seekers in Europe as "a poison" -- as every single migrant poses a terror risk -- which his country did not want or need, The Guardian website reports today (July 26, 2016).
As the beheading of an elderly priest in Normandy, France today by Islamic State (IS) supporters became the latest in a string of violent attacks to shake Europe this summer, Orban fuelled fears of Middle Eastern and African immigrants as well as praising Donald Trump's plans for U.S. foreign policy.
"Hungary does not need a single migrant for the economy to work, or the population to sustain itself, or for the country to have a future," he told a joint press conference in Budapest with Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern.
The Hungarian leader added that "every single migrant poses a public security and terror risk." He also asserted: "For us migration is not a solution but a problem... not medicine but a poison, we don't need it and won't swallow it."
