Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán engaged in a high-profile meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Tuesday evening. The motive behind this diplomatic visit was to address pressing issues related to the European migration situation, a topic that has garnered significant attention across the continent.
Following a series of meetings in Révkomárom with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, Orbán travelled to Paris at the invitation of Macron. Discussions were centred around the challenges faced by European countries due to irregular migration, a subject that continues to stir heated debates among EU member states.
According to reports from the Hungarian government, Orbán expressed concerns over the actions of Western leaders in response to migration. He suggested that leaders were in a state of panic, leading to decisions he deemed inappropriate, such as reinstating border checks within the Schengen Area, which is designed to allow passport-free travel across much of the EU.

Orbán further emphasized what he described as a "rebellious atmosphere" within the European Union, suggesting that some leaders, including Poland's Prime Minister and Germany's Chancellor, were already manifesting their dissent. He warned that more member states might follow suit, potentially disrupting not only the migration-focused agreements but also broader EU cooperation.
The Hungarian Prime Minister reiterated his stance on the European Union's migration policies, calling for a complete overhaul of existing frameworks. He argued that the current migration pact should be discarded in favour of new, more effective regulations to manage the situation.
The meeting with Macron underscores the varying perspectives and challenges EU leaders face as they attempt to forge a collective response to migration while maintaining national interests and ensuring regional stability.
