[QUOTE]Hungary will hold a referendum on 2 October on whether to accept mandatory EU quotas for relocating migrants, President Janos Ader has said.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Analysts say Mr Orban is emboldened by UK's vote to leave the EU, after a campaign in which immigration was a key issue.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36711693[/url]

Hey there not leaving, that's good.

can't say this is going to go well for hungary, they have already been threatened with having their EU funding pulled once. Hungary can't cope without the funding, let alone access to the single market, and are nowhere near as strong as the UK in making these kinds of decisions.

hungary will definitely say nope to mandatory migrant quotas

It has been known for a quite a while now that a referendum will be held, only the date was just finalized. Brexit has little to do with this if at all. [QUOTE=OmniConsUme;50652318]Hey there not leaving, that's good.[/QUOTE] The drawbacks would [B]massively[/B] outweigh any benefits so there is not a single party here which would even consider supporting a leave movement.

wtf? the uk at least was a 'special' part of the EU and followed there own rules, and they can support themselves. Hungary? no way.

Usual I fall victim to this myself but do you guys even read past the title? They're not holding a leave referendum, it's for accepting migrant quotas.

[QUOTE=Kentz;50652548]hungary will definitely say nope to mandatory migrant quotas[/QUOTE] With Hungary getting more migrants than other nations wouldn't other nations being obliged to take some of those migrants be an advantage to Hungary. Also if a migrant isn't deemed a valid refugee or their asylum request is denied what happens to them? Do they get sent back? Is the problem that there are so many they can't be processed so they're effectively in purgatory, not yet having their application processed/sent?

Hungary won't accept, never ever. I mean they didn't leave a good impression when all they wanted was to go to Germany.

Misleading title, the referendum was announced like half a year ago. According to the quota, we would have to take like a few thousand refugees, the overall cost for that would be lower than holding a national vote like this. Here's how it will turn out probably, not a whole lot of people will actually vote, and those who do vote, will vote no immigrants. The government's rhetoric for the past year has been the same, blame everything on the refugees, like unemployment (even back when they only wanted to pass through te country and go to Germany), this conviniently diverts attention from the dozens of scandals that we currently have going on, but everyone forgot about that. Also did you seriously register, just to post this article?

The idea to leave European Union is populism in its purest form, no one sane who is aware of the potential consequences would want it. Even the retards from UKIP finally got it, but it was teensy bit too late. So even the anti-EU pro-Russia Hungarian government wouldn't push it.

-snop- They've been hammering on not wanting any refugees for a while now. Though with what I know from Hungary it mainly comes down to what Zuxer said really. Politics aren't as easy as "yes refugees no refugees"

It's not like the refugees wanted to stay in Hungary anyways. Germany is a much more attractive goal.

first of all, this has been floating around for months, it is in no way emboldened by brexit second, our economic status as the moment does not allow in any way for the same percentage of migrants to be held here as say, austria, it's a simple fact we are an EU country without the euro as a currency, keep that in mind, we have no way of sustaining the migrants, even if we had eu money [editline]6th July 2016[/editline] hungarian minimal wage is about 250 euro think about our situation for a second before slamming your desks in anger about the evil far right hungarian referendums

[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;50655939]It's not like the refugees wanted to stay in Hungary anyways. Germany is a much more attractive goal.[/QUOTE] Okay? You are implying they have a choice. Plus it's not like the EU will agree with this just because "they don't want to stay in Hungary".
