Hungary’s Orban isn’t a ‘bad European,’ fights ‘illegal’ immigration : Manfred Weber

The leader of the largest political group in the EU Parliament and Angela Merkel ally, Manfred Weber, has defended Viktor Orban against critics who accuse Hungary’s Eurosceptic, anti-immigrant PM of being a “bad European.”

Weber, a member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative bloc and the leader of the European People’s Party, said it’s wrong to “point fingers” at Orban and say “he’s not a good European.”

“If you look at the migration debate, from where I come from often we’re talking about refugees. But if you look at Prague, Bratislava, or Budapest, often the debate is more focused elsewhere. They’re talking about illegal migration instead. It’s for that reason that I think what’s most important is for us to talk to one another and deal with one another,” Weber said during a press conference at the European Parliament.
