HUNGARY - Hungary has refused to take in refugees because its population is not in favor of opening the borders, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview published Monday. “I can only speak for the Hungarian people, and they don’t want any migration,” Orbán said. “In my understanding, it’s not possible for the people to have a will on a fundamental issue and for the government not to comply with it.”
Most refugees come to Europe not because they are fleeing dangerous conditions at home but because they want to take advantage of economic opportunities, Orbán, one of the bloc’s most vocal anti-refugee leaders, told German newspaper Bild.
As such, they shouldn’t be considered “refugees” so much as “Muslim invaders,” he said. In keeping refugees out of Hungary, Orbán asserted he is merely following the will of his people — an indirect dig at Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose open-door refugee policy has come under fire in Germany.
Orbán’s comments echo those he made last week at a meeting of the Christian Social Union (CSU), Merkel’s conservative allies. The Hungarian prime minister predicted 2018 would see the “restoration of the will of the people” and criticized European leaders who “are not doing what the people want them to.”
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
