Hungary Threatens To Send Buses Of Refugees To Brussels

Hungary is intensifying its clash with the European Union by threatening to transport migrants to Brussels by bus, in retaliation for a fine of over $220 million imposed by the European Court of Justice. The court found Hungary in violation of EU asylum laws, resulting in the hefty penalty. In defiance, Prime Minister Viktor Orban has pledged to send irregular migrants straight to Belgium. Belgian officials have denounced the move as provocative, with authorities stating they would block the buses at the border. This standoff underscores deeper tensions over migration policy and the rule of law, placing strain on European unity.
