The Hungarian government follows the footsteps of the United States and the Trump administration and looks like other countries in the world of the United Nations Migration Agreement, sometimes called "Global Migration Compact 'adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on September 19, 2016 with the accession of 193 member states – all except the United States.

Reuters writes that Hungary will not sign the final document in December:

"Peter Szijjarto, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto:" This pact poses a threat to the world as it could inspire million migrants. "

The Hungarian Foreign Minister believes that the whole agreement is based on mistaken thinking:

Szijjarto said that the UN" Migration is a good and inevitable phenomenon … We regard migration as a bad process, which has extremely serious implications for security. "

The Hungarian government announced the decision at a press conference on Wednesday, and presented everything on its Own sites:

"The main problem for us is the security of Hungary and the Hungarian people, and this document is totally at odds with the security interests of the country." says. t, the United Nations Global Compact on Migration is in conflict with common sense and with the intention of restoring European security, "he added. Foreign Minister Szijjarto called the agreement of the UN dangerous and extremist, which can cause millions of people to leave their homes

Hungary, which, like the other countries of Visegrad (Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia), has a strict migration policy , finds itself on the verge of documenting the United Nations in Europe

However, Szijjarto's opinion on the subject is not a surprise. A few weeks ago, he gave an interview on Breitbart, pointing out that migration is not a human right, but that one has the right to be safe in one's own country and that Hungary must remain a Christian country:

The UN agreement is expected to be signed in Marrakech, Morocco in December, according to the New York Times

. It will be without representatives of the Hungarian government but probably with Norwegian officials present – just like Norway. May 2018 in the same city signed a political declaration on migration in connection with the so-called process of Rabat, something that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not find this problem deserves to be narrated at public.
