Hungary has slammed what it called failed migration policies, telling the United Nations uncontrolled mass migration has created a threat to Europe.


Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced a referendum for October the 2nd on whether to accept any future EU-wide quotas.

 

It comes after Hungary's refusal to take in refugees or migrants under an European Union burden-sharing plan.
