Hungaria adopts resolution against EU compulsory relocation scheme of migrants

BUDAPEST, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- The Hungarian parliament adopted a resolution on Tuesday as a counter-act of a proposal by the European parliament over the compulsory relocation scheme of migrants.

The resolution passed with 142 against 3 votes. The Hungarian parliament, according to its statement, considered it outrageous and therefore rejected the proposal of the European parliament.

The proposal was interpreted by the Hungarian government as the implementation of the so-called "Soros plan" -- relocating migrants compulsorily at the expense of the European states.

"The mandatory relocation of migrants would irrevocably alter Europe's culture and future," according to the resolution adopted.

The resolution also rejects to give authority to the Soros organizations in the transportation and relocation scheme of the European Union.

"The EU should respect Hungary's sovereignty and the will of the Hungarians expressed in the referendum," the resolution said, pointing at the 2016 referendum on relocation scheme that was invalid due to low turnout, but where 98 percent of the participants voted in line with the Hungarian government's position.

The Hungarian parliament also called on the government not to allow pressure on behalf of the European Parliament and the EU bureaucracy, to defend the rights of the country, to reject the so-called "Soros plan" and to keep the citizens informed of the state of implementation of the "Soros plan".

The resolution submitted on Sunday was discussed in an extraordinary procedure. The decision will come into effect the day after its publication.

In the beginning of October, the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban launched a national consultation on an alleged "Soros plan" for mass immigration to the EU.

Hungarian-born American billionaire George Soros, who funds human rights NGOs around the world, has become one of Orban's main enemies. Orban has attacked NGOs, accusing them of intervening in Hungarian domestic politics in favor of Soros. The Orban government refers to these NGOs as "Soros organizations".

At the end of November, George Soros refuted point-by-point the allegations made against him by Orban, accusing him of spreading "false" information with an "anti-Semitic" tone. Enditem
