Hungary

The Hungarian government fails to respect the rule of law and human rights. Government representatives are increasingly hostile to journalists and critics and engage in anti-migrant, anti-Muslim and xenophobic rhetoric including through publicly funded campaigns. Authorities have introduced legislation targeting civil society organizations and universities receiving funding from abroad. Asylum seekers are detained indefinitely in substandard border camps without a possibility to challenge their detention. They face violence during operations to force them back to the border, and limitations on meaningful access to asylum.

Don’t let Hungary’s Fidesz Fuel Hatred

Don’t let Hungary’s Fidesz Fuel Hatred

Hungary’s governing party, Fidesz uses xenophobia to fuel discrimination against migrants and is now trying to silence NGOs. Do the Germany Christian Democrats in the European People’s Party (EPP) want these values infecting the EU? Fidesz should be kicked out of the EPP. The leaders of CDU and CSU parties—Angela Merkel and Horst Seehofer—should not sit silent on the sidelines but stand up for Europe.
