VIKTOR ORBAN, the Hungarian Prime Minister has issued a chilling message to EU leaders ahead of today’s crunch European Council summit, saying that European democracy must be 'reconstructed' in order to deal with the migrant crisis
Viktor Orbán: We need to reconstruct European democracy
Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, has called on European Union leaders to fundamentally overhaul European politics in order to deal with the migrant crisis.
The controversial leader claimed the people of Europe wanted the flow of migrants stopped and migrants currently in EU countries to be sent back.
He told press in Brussels: “This is the right time to launch a new period where we try to reconstruct European democracy.
“And I hope now we will make a move to the direction of the reconstruction of European democracy.

“Finally, we will do what the people really request, and I think the people request two things.
“The first is no more migrants in, so stop them.
“The second is: those who are in, we should bring back.
“That’s what the people will, so I think in order to restore European democracy we have to move in that direction.”
Farage jokes Viktor Orban is a bigger nightmare to EU than me
Viktor Orban has been the Prime Minister of Hungary since 2010, in which time he has railed against immigration into Europe from Africa and the Middle East and worked to create what he terms an “illiberal democracy” centred around nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric.
Mr Orban has been a fierce long-term critic of the Brussels bloc, and has staunchly opposed its approach to immigration.
He told supporters this year: "Europe is now under invasion. Brussels is not defending Europe and it is not halting immigration.
"It wants to dilute the population of Europe and to replace it, to cast aside our culture, our way of life and everything which separates and distinguishes us Europeans from the other peoples of the world.
With German Chancellor Angela Merkel under severe pressure domestically to change tack on immigration, the issue is set to dominate the agenda at this week’s European Council summit.
