Border Opening for Russians: Hungary’s Stance
Hungary has once again become the center of attention due to its controversial actions. Over the past few days, Russians have been able to enter the EU through Hungarian borders without any checks, causing significant discontent among EU member states. This situation has been made possible by new regulations introduced by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, allowing Russians and Belarusians to register as guest workers in Hungary since July. This was reported by RND.
European Union’s Reaction
The European Union has already expressed its concern over Hungary’s new provocations. EU member states believe these actions undermine the region’s security and stability, opening the door for unauthorized entry of individuals from Russia who may be involved in espionage or terrorist activities.
Potential Threats and Dangers
Experts specifically note the significant risk of Russian spies entering the EU, potentially sent by the Kremlin to carry out terrorist attacks. Sergey Lagodinsky, an expert on EU foreign policy, stated, “Orbán is doing what he always does – undermining the European migration system while simultaneously becoming a servant of the Kremlin.”
This situation raises serious concerns about the potential consequences for the security of all Europe. Amid Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and strained relations between Russia and the West, Hungary’s actions appear as direct support for Moscow.
Historical Context and Consequences for Europe
Hungary’s actions have previously drawn criticism from the EU. Hungary has often demonstrated its independent stance on migration policy, frequently going against the common norms and regulations of the European Union. This policy deepens the divide within the EU and threatens the unity and joint efforts in combating illegal migration and other threats.
Conclusion and Further Actions
European countries are now discussing possible measures in response to Hungary’s actions. Various scenarios are being considered, including tightening controls on internal EU borders and imposing sanctions against Hungary.
Western countries are also seriously contemplating a response to Russian subversions. More details can be found in the article “Western countries are considering their response to Russian subversions” at this link: Western countries are considering their response to Russian subversions.
