Hungary: “Europe’s Borders Must be Protected”<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | December 18, 2020<\/p>\n

The Court of Justice of the European Union, the EU\u2019s top court, has ruled<\/a> that Hungary violated EU law when it prevented illegal immigrants from seeking asylum. The ruling paves the way for the European Commission, the EU\u2019s powerful administrative arm, to impose financial penalties over Hungary\u2019s restrictive immigration policies. The Hungarian government has vowed that it will not bow to pressure to jump aboard the EU\u2019s multicultural bandwagon.<\/p>\n

In its December 17 ruling, the court, informally known as European Court of Justice (ECJ) accused<\/a> the Hungarian government of corralling migrants into so-called transit zones and of limiting their ability to apply for asylum. The court also found that Hungary did not allow asylum seekers to leave detention while their cases were being considered and offered no special protection to children and the vulnerable.<\/p>\n

The case involves stems from a lawsuit filed by the European Commission over a 2015 decision by Hungary to establish two transit zones on its southern border with Serbia to stop a mass influx of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The action prevented migrants from entering Hungary or transiting the country to reach other parts of the EU.<\/p>\n
