The Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto says his country will give refugees a shelter but it cannot accommodate economic migrants. Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said Europe's Christian heritage was under threat because most of the migrants were Muslims.
Hungary had 43,000 asylum seekers in 2014 but offered asylum to fewer than 300 people. But Mr Szijjarto said it did not matter what the religion of a refugee was: “If someone is a refugee we give him or her, a shelter. That is what we have been doing,” he told HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur.
