Strong reactions from Parliament President Schulz and Hungary’s Prime Minister on how to tackle the current refugee crisis.

Fortress Hungary: is this the European way to go?

What we see for the time being  is egoism

The 28 Member States  have 507 million inhabitants.

If we distribute 500,000 refugees  among 507 million,

If you leave all the refugees  in some of the Member States,

that they can just come  because we are ready to accept everybody,

that would be a moral failure,  because this is not the case.

So the moral, human thing  is to make clear:

Why do you have to go  from Turkey to Europe?

Don't criticise Hungary  for doing what's compulsory to be done.

just let Hungary do the job  as written in the European regulations.

The Schengen treaty is under threat,  that's clear.

the threat for free movement will increase.

But I belong to those who are not ready  to reduce a fundamental right

and to put it in doubt because we have  an influx of refugees to the EU.
