Migration Crisis in The European Union and Hungary's Legal and Political Attitudes Towards Migration

Abstract

This paper delves into Hungary's legal and political attitudes towards migration in the context of the EU's migration crisis. Specifically, it examines Hungary's response to the migration crisis, including its efforts to restrict migration and tighten border controls, and the underlying motivations driving these measures. Additionally, it undertakes a critical analysis of the legal implications of Hungary's approach to migration, including the potential violations of EU law and human rights. The present article directs scholarly attention towards the contentious nature of Hungary's immigration and immigrant integration policies, undertaking law analysis thereof. The study concludes that Hungary's stance on migration poses a broader challenge to the EU's commitment to humanitarian principles and raises important questions about the future of migration policy within the Union. As such, this study highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to address the migration crisis which the EU is dealing with.
