Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has declared that Hungary will not implement the EU’s new Migration Pact. Writing on X, he said that Brussels is trying to force Hungary either to accept incoming migrants or pay financial contributions. Orbán reiterated that Hungary would not accept a single migrant and would not pay for other EU states’ obligations, arguing that his country already invests heavily in protecting the EU’s external borders.

“We will not take a single migrant in, and we will not pay for others’ migrants. Hungary will not implement the measures of the Migration Pact. The rebellion begins!” the prime minister wrote.

Hungary, along with Poland and Slovakia, has long rejected the pact’s stricter mechanism, as it stands for border protection to curb mass migration. The Migration Pact is designed to replace the current Dublin system and foresees faster border procedures, stricter security and health checks, and expanded options to transfer rejected asylum seekers to safe third countries—potentially even without their consent. It also includes discussions about establishing external asylum and return centers outside the EU.
