EU interior ministers at loggerheads over asylum reforms.

by

Hungary and Poland were the last men standing in Luxembourg on Thursday evening after last-minute concessions to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni saw a coalition of EU nations against the bloc’s asylum reforms crumble.

EU interior ministers had been at loggerheads over plans proposed by the European Commission that would see the introduction of a mandatory migrant relocation scheme, with nations who refuse to cooperate fined a penalty of up to €22,000 per migrant.

“This is unacceptable! They want to turn Hungary into an immigration country by force!” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote in a social media post on Friday.
