Hungarian government: Europe has ‘no-go zones’ due to migrants
The firebrand premier has provoked controversy with a tough rhetoric about migrants and a razor wire fence along Hungary’s southern border, as well as a referendum against mandatory resettlement quotas on October 2.
London, the European Union’s biggest city by population, is sometimes portrayed overseas as a tense, immigrant-dominated capital awash with a mix of poor immigrants, highly paid bankers and wealthy foreign oligarchs.
He supports a No vote in the October 2nd referendum that will ask Hungarians whether they want to allow the European Union to mandate the resettlement of foreign citizens in the country without the approval of the nation’s parliament.
“In those European cities, where immigrants live in great numbers, several hundred “no-go” zones exist”.
‘This leaflet is clearly inaccurate, ‘ a spokesman for Britain’s Foreign Office said.
Britain’s embassy in Budapest raised concerns about the leaflet.
‘There are no areas in the United Kingdom in which the laws of the United Kingdom can not be enforced’.
One leaflet, sent out to millions of Hungarian citizens, said: “The so-called “no-go” zones are areas of cities that the authorities are unable to keep under their control”. Southampton and Peterborough were also listed as “no-go” areas.
“There are no-go zones in Europe and we don’t want no-go zones in Hungary”, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told the BBC’s Newsnight programme.
Also this month, Austrian interior minister Wolfgang Sobotka said Vienna would “turn to the courts if Hungary does not take back those asylum seekers who, according to EU law, must request asylum in the country in which they first entered the European Union”.
Earlier this month, state-owned Air China withdrew an in-flight magazine that warned visitors to be careful in parts of London populated by members of ethnic minorities.
The latest issue of “Wings of China” ran an article detailing safety tips to travellers based on the race and nationality of local residents.
“We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when travelling”, it added.
The English translation prompted London MP Virendra Sharma, who emigrated from India to Britain in the 1960s, to complain to the Chinese government.
