Hungarian PM: Germany Is Showing 'Moral Imperialism' In Its Handling Of Refugee Crisis

By R. Siva Kumar - 25 Sep '15 08:41AM

Germany is forcing its "moral imperialism" onto the migrant crisis in Europe, said Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, according to Yahoo! News 

Before a planned summit of the European Union, the refugees were the main focus. On Tuesday, the European Union had come to a consensus whereby they said they will share the 120,00 refugees among their countries.

The following day, the PM said that Hungary has the "democratic right" to deal with the refugees in its own way that is different from Germany.

"I don't doubt Germany's right to define its moral obligations for itself. They can decide if they accept every refugee or not," Orban said, according to hngn. . "Hungary should have the right to control the impact of a mass migration."

Germany has opened its doors to welcome 1 million refugees this year. On the other hand, Hungary closed its Serbian border so that it could prevent refugees from pouring in. The Christian Social Union in Bavaria invited Orban to this part of southern Germany to give his opinions.

"Because of a German decision we are in a situation with no rules and chaos," said Horst Seehofer, Bavarian state premier and the chief of the CSU. "Mr. Orban is indispensable in finding a solution to the problem."

The first phase of the eventual 20,000 refugees entering Britain arrived by Wednesday. However, England will not take part in the refugee-sharing plan, according to The Guardian.
