Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is rallying support among ethnic Hungarians in central Europe as he pushes for the rejection of European Union migrant quotas in a referendum from Oct. 2.
Orban has vehemently object to the European Commission proposal's to distribute migrants and refugees across EU member states.
For Orban, the quotas represent a challenge to Hungary's sovereignty and an attempt to change the ethnic and cultural make-up of the country against its will. He hopes the vote will give him a mandate to challenge it.
