Hungary firmly opposed to EU migrant quota: PM Orban's chief of staff

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary is firmly opposed to a new quota system for taking in asylum-seekers as proposed by the European Union, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff said on Thursday. The EU announced a plan on Wednesday to take in asylum-seekers more fairly around its member states and accept 20,000 more refugees. "Hungary will under no circumstances receive such refugees based on the EU's decision," Janos Lazar told a news conference. "The Hungarian government will do everything to prevent this in Brussels."
