On Wednesday, the government of Hungary announced it would join the United State in withdrawing from a U.N. global compact on migration. The government called the compact “in conflict with common sense” and national security. The U.S. pulled out of the compact last December.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó stated, “The primary issue for us is the security of Hungary and the Hungarian people, and this document is totally at odds with the country’s security interests. According to the Government’s position, the U.N. Global Compact for Migration is in conflict with common sense and also with the intent to restore European security.” He added, “The Government regards this premise as unacceptable and regard migration as a bad process that has extremely serious security aspects.”
