BATTLEFIELD HUNGARY! Hungarian PM Viktor Orban is FIGHTING BACK Against EU Liberals trying to Flood Europe with Muslims

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday launched a fresh attack on an EU plan to share thousands of migrants around the bloc, saying that forcing his country to partake in the scheme bordered on "violence".



The comments came a day after the European Court of Justice, the bloc's top court, rejected a legal challenge to the relocation plan lodged by Hungary and Slovakia.



They also followed criticism by EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker who earlier this week chided Budapest for demanding extra money for border security while refusing to partake in the mandatory migrant redistribution scheme.



"Solidarity is not an à-la-carte dish," Juncker had said in a letter to Orban on Tuesday.



The Hungarian leader, who has previously called immigration the "Trojan Horse of terrorism", said he was "stunned and puzzled" by Juncker's response.



"The interpretation of the principle of solidarity described in your letter is in essence the transformation of Hungary into an immigrant country, against the will of the Hungarian people," Orban said in a letter to Juncker, published on the government's website on Thursday.



"In my view, this is not solidarity, this is violence."



Unlike other European Union member states, Hungary did not have a "colonial past", Orban added.



"These major member states have become immigrant countries, due to the obligations stemming from their colonial legacy," the populist strongman said.



"Hungary on the other hand... does not want to become an immigrant country and cannot accept being forced to change this."



More than 400,000 people, many fleeing war in Syria, crossed through Hungary in 2015 as they sought to reach western and northern Europe.
