00:00Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban reiterated his anti-immigrant stance
00:05on Friday, stating migration has a corrosive effect on EU legislation.
00:11He delivered the comments at a conference in Italy, saying under his six-month EU presidency,
00:16he would tackle the bloc's major issues, security, competition and migration.
00:21Migration is an issue which is a disintegrating factor.
00:23Why do we need it?
00:26So if you have a problem in Italy, and in many countries, that you decided to let many
00:31migrants come in, and now you have difficulties how to manage to live together with them,
00:36it's a serious problem.
00:38The Hungarian government's anti-immigrant rhetoric was furthered when a senior official
00:42said Budapest would bus illegal migrants to Brussels.
00:46The European Union, Brussels, wants to force Hungary to let in those foreign migrants who
00:55we have detained so far, who we have detained at the Hungarian-Southern border with a million
01:00occasions, then Hungary, after the European procedure is completed, will offer these illegal
01:05migrants to be brought to Brussels on their own, for free, on the same route.
01:15The EU has frozen billions of euros for Orban's government.
01:20This is due to the conservative leader's breaches of the bloc's rule of law and democracy
01:24standards, which spans migration.
