Restrictive migration policy: Orbán and the patriots for Europe in Budapest!

Budapest, Ungarn - In Budapest, the EU Group "Patriots for Europe" today adopted a radical political explanation of migration policy, in which Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is present. FPÖ MP Petra Steger emphasized the urgency of strict measures against illegal migration: "The interests of European citizens are our top priority," said Steger. The explanation includes a number of hard suggestions that aim to secure the external borders of the EU and to preserve the cultural identity of the nation states. Measures such as the return of non -cooperating countries of origin and strict asylum procedures in safe third countries are the focus of the plan.

In addition, a restriction of family reunification is also required. Steger and the parliamentary group criticize the EU Commission's migration and asylum pact under Ursula von der Leyen and warn that he ignores the causes of migration and promotes illegal entry. "We need a policy that meets the expectations and needs of the citizens of Europe," she said. In the declaration, an appeal is also addressed to the EU institutions, sanctions against states that take effective measures to combat illegal migration immediately.

historical perspective of migration policy in Europe

The history of European migration policy shows that migration is a constitutive part of the continent. European countries have been an increase in immigration since the 1960s, while politics has tried to control this process. The Schengen Treaty of 1985, which lifted the border controls between several European countries, was an important step in history, but accompanied by the challenges of a uniform European migration policy. The EU is one of the central actors that balances the tension between national sovereignty and migration policy.

The years of efforts to develop a uniform European asylum and migration policy are under pressure and the social challenges that are associated with this. The debates are particularly about the fair distribution of asylum seekers and the responsibility of the Member States, as well as the introduction of a new asylum and migration management system that is supposed to replace the Dublin Ordinance href = "https://www.bpb.de/themen/migration-integration/dossier-migration/252329/geschichte-der-europaeiischen-migrationpolitik/"> bpb.de .

The challenges are complex: from securing skilled workers to the protection of minorities to the guarantee of fair access to asylum rights, also in the face of restrictive border policy. Today's change in the EU migration policy could have far -reaching consequences for the future of common European identity.
