Against Of Hungary turns to the top court of the EU which on Tuesday (16/11) ruled that the country has not fulfilled its obligations under European Union law. “It has implemented a regulation according to which asylum applications are inadmissible because the asylum seeker arrived in Hungary through a third country that is considered safe,” the statement said.
The Court of Justice of the European Union has also concluded that Hungary has violated EU law criminalizing certain asylum-seeking assistance activities in its territory.
Budapest has lost immigration lawsuits to top EU court after the nationalist Prime Minister Victor Orban adopted his hardline policies after the increase in the arrivals of refugees and migrants from the Mediterranean in 2015 that took the EU by surprise.
Orban and his government campaign with tough anti-immigration agenda
His government Victor Orban tightened asylum regulations in the following years and campaigned with a tough anti-immigration agenda, rejecting the notion of a multicultural society.
“First, the Court of Justice of the European Union finds that Hungary has not fulfilled its obligations by allowing the application for international protection to be rejected as inadmissible because the applicant arrived in its territory through a State in which the person was not persecuted or in danger of suffering “serious damage or in which (the state) is guaranteed an adequate degree of protection”, the court stated in a statement issued as broadcast by the Athens News Agency.
The Court of Justice of the European Union has also emphasized that Hungarian law restricted applicants’ right of access to international protection and the right of asylum seekers to be able to consult a legal or other counsel.
“The court considers that such a restriction cannot be justified by the objectives stated by the Hungarian legislature“That is, to avoid providing assistance for the abuse of the asylum process and illegal immigration based on fraud,” he added.
