Open Spy Doors: In the EU want to punish Hungary by issuing visas to the Russians

According to Manfred Weber's "European People's Party", because of Budapest's decisions, aggressor citizens will be able to travel most of the continent, increasing the risks to security. The European Union has called for urgent measures against Hungary. This is due to the fact that Budapest is going to issue visas to the Russians, despite sanctions. The head of the European Parliament "European People's Party" Manfred Weber, Financial Times told about it in more detail.

According to him, the decision of Hungary to weaken visa restrictions for tourists from Russia can become "open doors for spies. " Citizens of aggressor countries will thus receive visas and travel easily most of the continent. In this regard, European leaders are obliged to use urgent countermeasures, as there are "serious concerns about national security.

" Manfred Weber has already sent a letter to the President of the European Council Charles Michel to raise the issue at the nearest leader summit in October. "Such a policy can also facilitate the Russians by the Schengen area bypassing the restrictions provided by the EU legislation," said the head of the "European People's Party". The integrity of the Schengen area should be protected, according to the European Union, which should reduce security risks and prevent such initiatives in the future.
