European Union’s top court hits Hungary with massive €200 million fine for blocking Muslim migrant-wannabes, plus €1 million every day.
REMIX News (h/t Marvin W) The EU’s top court, the European Court of Justice, has hit Hungary with a massive fine for refusing to comply with a 2020 ruling that the country was blocking migrants at its border using illegal policies.
The ruling has sparked a strong reaction from the Hungarian government, with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán writing on X that the “ECJ’s decision to fine Hungary with 200M euros plus 1m euros daily for defending the borders of the European Union is outrageous and unacceptable. It seems that illegal migrants are more important to the Brussels bureaucrats than their own European citizens.”
The European Court of Justice published the decision on X, noting it referred to Hungary’s “failure to comply with the Court of Justice’s judgment of 17 December 2020.”
The court had initially ruled in 2020 that Hungary had illegally detained and blocked migrants from entering its territory and then illegally held asylum seekers at the Röszke transit zone on Serbian territory, thereby allowing them to be deported before they could appeal their asylum application rejection. The court ordered Hungarian authorities to reconsider the practice of detaining such migrants.
The top court has now ruled that Hungary has ignored this judgment. The ruling comes at a time when not only Hungarians reject mass immigration, but polling across Europe shows the vast majority of Europeans want an end to mass immigration and immigration from non-European countries. In fact, a new poll found that 7 out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many migrants, while only 39 percent of respondents say Europe “needs immigration today.”
In 2020, the government of Hungary maintained that it cannot be considered detention when the migrants are not allowed to enter Hungary but are still permitted to turn around and return via the route they came. A previous decision on the same case, handed down by the European Court of Human Rights, also found that the procedure did not constitute detention.
As Remix News previously reported, the case came about due to the backing of an NGO funded by billionaire oligarch George Soros.
The ECJ case was originally filed by two Iranian and two Afghani nationals stuck in the Röszke transit zone on Hungary’s southern border with Serbia. They entered the transit zone seeking asylum in Hungary, but the Hungarian authorities refused to process their case, arguing that they came from Serbia, a country deemed to be safe.
Represented by a Soros-funded NGO, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, they filed their case with the Szeged district public administration and labor court, which in turn forwarded it to the ECJ.
The Hungarian government maintained that migrants could not apply for asylum on Hungarian territory, but intead must apply for asylum at a Hungarian embassy in neighboring countries, such as Belgrade in Serbia. Hungary contended that asylum applicants have no right to enter Hungary, as they cross several safe countries on their way to Hungary.
“Hungary is surrounded by safe countries,” said the Hungarian government’s international spokesman Zoltán Kovács in 2020. “The Geneva Conventions stipulate refugees must apply for asylum in the first safe country. Nothing guarantees the right to choose where to apply while breaking the law as an illegal migrant to boot.”
Can’t Hungary leave the EU?
Fortunately Hungary is one of a few countries that understand the enormous danger of having these Muslim invaders in the country. Unfortunately a lot of countries do not understand the Muslim mentality. Why are they not going to the rich Arab countries, well they’re not wanted and their agenda is to turn non Muslim countries into IslamicCountries. These invaders are not Western people in robes. They are dangerous and fanatical. The West must realize that they cannot reason with them, just like reasoning with a drunk and a child is a waste of time. Alleluia for Hungary.
Hopefully Hungary will tell the EU to stick it up their ass.
They should refuse to pay even a single buck..
F*** the stupid EU bureaucracy.
Agreed, Hungary knows Islam too well, that is why they do not want these
religious fanatics in their county.
In 1521, Hungary was invaded by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the border fortress Belgrade considered as the key and southern gate of the Kingdom of Hungary, after two previous sieges, the Ottomans captured this stronghold by the Third Siege of Belgrade.
Like i and many more have said or written. The eu will not tolerate the blocking of the import and the migrationpackts 1 and 2 give them the means to do so and this is what happens. We shall all see if Hungary can defend itself but i really doubt it, there are too many nwos or ngos plus many more of the socialistic left that the courts here are full with them and as all can see they even let friends like habbarth become the highest judge that germany has so gone are the days from fairness and justice
Hopefully this is the beginning of the breakup of the EU.
Bonni dont hope to long then the eu will only break up when germany cant finance it anymore. Germany gives over 46 milliarden euros every year to the eu and it is allways the biggest payer in all projects. The others like hungary, poland, and tchechien are staying for the german money like hungary gets 14 milliarden every year for nothing and because of that the eu will not break until my country cant pay anymore and that is on the agenda. The industry in germany is being broken apart and our friends bait our companys with nice deals and so. When our friends take our industry then i ask how will germany pay anything anymore?. I say when germany cant pay anymore then the world will be in turmoil because its germany that pays the most for all nice we feed all or we build new homes and industry for all except our own nation. This will break the world we know and that will happen sooner than we think.
