According to multiple media reports on August 23, Gergely Gulyas, director of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office, warned on August 22 that if the EU continues to ask Hungary to accept more asylum seekers, Hungary will send these people to Brussels.

At a press conference that day, Gulyás criticized the EU for forcing Hungary to "allow immigrants to enter at all costs" and called the EU Court of Justice's ruling in June this year a "shame."

On June 13 this year, the European Court of Justice issued a fine to Hungary for failing to comply with the court's 2020 ruling, ordering it to pay a one-time payment of 200 million euros. If payment is delayed, it will have to pay a fine of 1 million euros per day.

In December 2020, the European Court of Justice ruled that Hungary had violated EU law by denying the right to apply for asylum to people who entered Hungary without authorization and by keeping them in a "transit zone" on the Hungarian-Serbian border.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called the EU Court's ruling "outrageous and unacceptable" in June.

“For bureaucrats in Brussels, illegal immigrants seem to be more important than their own EU citizens.”
