Brussels migrant quota – public opinion says no to mandatory resettlement

On 8 June, EU interior ministers – with protests from Hungary and Poland – approved a package of proposals to reform the EU’s migration system, according to which Brussels would distribute illegal immigrants among Member States through a binding EU mechanism. According to the adopted document, countries that do not accept migrants assigned to them under the mandatory quota system must pay a penalty of EUR 22,000 (HUF 8 million) for each migrant not admitted. The next step in the decision-making process is to submit the proposal to the European Parliament. In view of these developments, Századvég has examined the position of Hungarians on the mandatory distribution of illegal migrants according to quotas planned by Brussels.

15 June 2023

The rejection of the mandatory resettlement quota is significant

Research data show that

70 percent of respondents have recently heard about Brussels’ plan to make it mandatory for EU Member States to distribute migrants according to quotas

and to establish and maintain refugee camps in Member States again.

It is important to emphasise that Hungarian public opinion clearly rejects Brussels’ migrant quota system. It can be considered that

more than two-thirds (68 percent) of Hungarians believe that if the distribution mechanism planned by Brussels is introduced, Hungary will have to resist the decision taken by Brussels and continue to fight against the mandatory resettlement quota.

The proportion of those who would acknowledge the mandatory resettlement of illegal immigrants according to quotas is estimated at 25 percent.

Hungarians trust that Trump will end the Russia-Ukraine war and bring peace

77% of Hungarians believe that there is a real chance that US President-elect Donald Trump will end the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2025, Századvég's December survey found. The poll explored public attitudes towards recent developments in the war and the possibilities for peace-building.

Prosperity index

The sense of prosperity improved in September

According to the September 2024 survey of Századvég Konjunktúrakutató, household economic sentiment improved by 1.5 index points, while business economic expectations fell by 0.5 index points from the previous month. Thus, the household index, measured on a scale of -100 to +100, strengthened to -16.9, while the business index weakened to -16.1. In the September survey, the most positive change in household sentiment was regarding larger purchases in the next year. From August to September, the biggest change for business is that they expect their export activities to increase in volume in the future.
