Hungary set for landslide win over EU as voters see referendum as huge ‘NO to Brussels’
VOTERS in Hungary are getting set to deliver a resounding message to the European Union this weekend – they may be EU citizens, but they will NOT be told what to do, according to politicians in the country’s capital.

Today Hungarians will turn out to vote in the country’s referendum, to answer a question put by the ruling Fidesz Government’s on whether or not they will accept migrant quotas.
The referendum was called in response to a suggestion by the EU that a quota system could be used to distriibute asylum seekers around the block to help ease pressure of the migrant crisis on some western EU nations.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is campaigning for the answer to be ‘no’ as he tells his people they will not be ordered around by Brussels.
And the latest polls suggest that at least two-thirds of the electorate agree with him.
Politicians in the capital Budapest have backed up the numbers, but warned Orban is playing a dangerous game.
Márton Gyöngyösi, MP of Jobbik and vice-chairman of the Foreign Affairs committee of the Hungarian National Assembly, has predicted the answer will be an “overwhelming” no.
