Hungarian Migrant Referendum Today

There isn’t any question as to whether or not this is going to pass. Polls indicate that it is more than 9 out of 10 Hungarians who want to stop these Moslems from entering their country.

Hungarians are set to overwhelmingly reject Brussels-imposed quotas obliging the country to accommodate asylum seekers from outside Europe in a vote that is not just about specific refugee allocations, but also the general policies of Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

“Do you want the European Union to be able to mandate the obligatory resettlement of non-Hungarian citizens into Hungary even without the approval of the National Assembly?” reads the question put to over 8 million voters during a national referendum on Sunday.

Polls conducted throughout the last month showed that fewer than 10 percent of Hungarians accept the unilateral resettlement of migrants coming through Greece and Italy, which was agreed to by a majority decision of EU foreign ministers a year ago, having been proposed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Hungary was one of four countries that rejected the plan to resettle 160,000 migrants, and surveys suggest that at least two-thirds of the decided voters back their government’s stance.

Orban’s ruling Fidesz party has led the ‘No’ campaign, supported by the Christian Democrats, and Jobbik, the ultra-nationalist conservative party. The only party openly canvassing for a ‘Yes’ vote is the pro-EU minnow MLP, which has one national deputy.

But the result of the referendum is still in the balance – to be declared valid over half of the electorate need to cast their ballots. Rather than try and lead a doomed ‘Yes’ campaign, several mostly left-wing major opposition parties, have called on voters to ignore the referendum. Predicted turnout is hovering exactly around the 50 percent mark.

“We think it is politically right that this referendum won’t be a valid one. This would send a clear message to everyone: that people don’t buy this populist game that creates tension,” Gyula Molnar, leader of the Hungarian Socialist Party, told Euronews.

The referendum is non-binding, and even if it were, it would be unlikely to have any immediate implications on asylum policy. Under last year’s plan Hungary was slated to take in only 1,294 asylum seekers, and as in almost all countries have stalled on their promise. No asylum seekers have arrived in the country under the plan, and chances are that the resettlement policy may never be executed at all, though the government insists that the referendum applies to any future Brussels schemes too.

Yet the symbolic value of Sunday’s vote is paramount to Orban, and the anti-migrant politician has made every effort to secure victory.

The problem is that this vote doesn’t really mean anything in the long-run.

Because Orban is a supporter of the EU, he is ensuring that Hungary won’t be able to make her own decisions in the future. So they can say “oh we won’t take these migrants, haha.” But in the very near future, they will have no sovereignty at all, due to the entanglement process of the EU, and the referendum will no longer be valid. It will be invalidated by Brussels and there will be nothing the Hungarians can do but accept infinity Moslems.

But I’m not totally black pilled on this issue. The referendum will have a positive outcome, in that it will encourage the populations of other countries to demand similar referendums and stir up anti-migrant sentiment generally. So it’s not all bad.

It’s just that it needs to be made clear that all of Orban’s policies are designed to stop the rise of Jobbik, which is a very popular real nationalist and anti-Semitic party that wants to leave the EU.
