Hungarian PM rallies diaspora in bid to vote down EU migrant quotas

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.
