Hungary has announced plans to bus asylum seekers to Brussels in response to a €200 million fine imposed by the European Union for refusing to open its borders. Hungarian government officials, including Bence Rétvári and the deputy police chief, held a press conference in front of a fleet of buses to emphasize their seriousness about the plan. Hungary is also seeking €2 billion in compensation from the EU for the costs incurred in building border infrastructure. This move is seen as a measure to pressure the EU into relenting on the fines. The plan includes offering asylum seekers a one-way ticket to Brussels.
