Hungary’s Interior Minister Gábor Pósfai has reiterated that the country will not implement the EU’s Migration and Asylum Pact in its present form, confirming that Budapest has not prepared a national implementation plan and does not intend to submit one.
Speaking to parliament’s European Affairs Committee on Monday, the minister stressed that Hungary continues to reject the solidarity mechanisms involving mandatory relocation quotas or financial contributions, while accepting only technical assistance and even then, only with the approval of frontline states.
The comments come just days after key parts of the Pact entered into application on June 12, following years of negotiation and political agreement in 2024.
