Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán has warned that “migrant armies are banging on Europe’s doors” as the coronavirus pandemic recedes.

Speaking to Kossuth Rádió, the national conservative leader said that the world is now going through “the age of epidemics and migration”, and that the latter issue is rising in importance after being largely overshadowed by the Wuhan virus through 2020 and much of 2021.

Prime Minister Orbán warned that “migrant armies are banging on Europe’s doors, on the doors that seal off migration routes on land and at sea” — a reference to the fact that illegal immigration pressures are not only increasing along the European Union’s land borders, but also at sea, with migrant “taxi” ships operated by non-government organisations (NGOs) have been stepping up their activities on the so-called Central Mediterranean Route to Italy.

Spain’s Canary Islands, off the coast of West Africa, have also been inundated with thousands of illegal migrants arriving by sea, despite the pandemic.

Just beyond the European Union, illegal migrants are also banging at a virtually open door along the sea border with the United Kingdom, being able to travel to the former EU member-state from France largely unhindered by the French authorities and not hindered at all by the hapless British authorities, who not only never turn boat migrants back but even go out of their way to meet them in French waters to help bring them to British soil, according to reports.
