The only formality was that the turnout was below the 50 per cent threshold to be ratified. The nationwide referendum campaign was launched after the EU announced its migrant quota plans to resettle 160,000 Syrian refugees among the existing member states. The people of Hungary were asked if they wanted to accept any future EU mandatory quota system for resettling migrants. Their rejection of Europe’s mandatory plans is a major blow for the already failing 27-member bloc.
The final result from the country’s historic referendum shows that more than nine in 10 voters rebelled against Jean-Claude Juncker’s EU Commission in a crushing blow to the whole euro project. Describing the current refugee crisis as they “start of a modern Migration Period” the outspoken leader vowed to “fight hard” to ensure that Brussels bureaucrats respect the result of the referendum. He also vowed to pass the verdict of the people into Hungarian law via a constitution change.
But despite the overwhelming voice of the Hungarian people liberal politicians in Brussels immediately attempted to rubbish the referendum. Naturally the voice of the people carries no weight when it comes to the brain trust of the European Union. I cannot understand the urgency in accepting Syrian migrants, unless funds have already been transferred to Brussells for said payoffs. Which I think is very likely. What do you think?
