Hungary approves new migration policy that will defend it's Christian culture
Hungary has approved a constitutional amendment
making it more difficult for refugees to gain asylum and passed
legislation which threatens people helping asylum seekers with up to a
year in prison.
The amendment of the
constitution also includes a ban on homelessness, creates new courts to
handle public administration cases and says the state must defend
Hungary's Christian culture.
The amendment was approved 159-5, with politicians from Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party and a small ally joined by the nationalist Jobbik party.
Parliament also passed the so-called "Stop Soros" law, which says people aiding refugees and asylum seekers can be imprisoned for up to a year.
Mr Orban blames financier George Soros for fomenting mass migration into Europe, a claim he denies.
