Viktor Orban, the head of Hungary’s conservative Fidesz party, is very publicly defying European Union officials who have called upon the continent to accept a wave of hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries like Syria, Libya, and South Sudan.
In a Thursday speech in Brussels, where the European Parliament is based, Orban pointed out that many migrants currently reaching Europe are hardly coming straight from a war-torn Syrian desert and are not in immediate physical danger.

“Why do you have to go from Turkey to Europe? Turkey is a safe country. Stay there. It’s risky to come,” Orban said, indicating it was the most “moral” thing to tell refugees. Accepting migrants en masse, he argues, is “madness” and will encourage more to make a dangerous journey to Europe.
