Bulgaria Should be in Schengen to Stop the Influx of Migrants Said the Hungarian PM

In a very recent interview, the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated that Bulgaria should be admitted to the passport free Schengen Area in order for the European Union to deal more effectively with the ongoing refugee crisis. On the public radio he stated that the EU should establish a new frontier on the northern border of Greece aiming to halt the migrant influx to the rest of Europe.

The Hungarian Prime Minister further stated that the existing agreement between Turkey and the EU will not be sufficient to hold the refugee wave. Viktor Orban further stated that Macedonia should also be provided with financial support and with whatever other assistance it needs in order to reinforce its defense. The Hungarian prime minister further said that Germany is now taking measures to slow down the arrivals of refugees, yet the focus should be on the stopping of these refugee flows. In 2015 Hungary built fences on its southern border and initially that attracted criticism on the side of the EU, yet later other members took similar measures and heightened their border controls.
