Hungary and the Netherlands want to exit EU asylum policy DW 09/20/2024
Briefly

"Hungary believes, like the Netherlands, that stricter national controls on migration are essential, to protect public services and sovereignty," said Boka. This highlights Hungary's ideological alignment with the Netherlands regarding national control over migration and emphasizes the perceived need to prioritize domestic interests above EU regulations.
The declared aim of the Dutch minister for asylum, the PVV's Marjolein Faber, is to establish the 'toughest migration policy ever' in the Netherlands, indicating a shift towards more aggressive national asylum policies that circumvent traditional democratic processes.
Boka has chosen to be uncompromising in his representation of Hungarian national interests, undermining the EU's joint asylum policy and emphasizing Hungary's preference for national over collective European action.
A press release from Budapest noted that Hungary feels encouraged by the Dutch move, suggesting a coalition of like-minded governments pushing against established EU protocols in favor of stricter national policies.
