Finnish MP Calls for Exclusion of Hungary From Schengen Zone

Hungary must be excluded from the free movement in the Schengen Zone, the Member of the Finnish Parliament and the leader of the Social Democratic Parliamentary Group, Tytti Tuppurainen has said.

Tuppurainen’s comments come following Hungary’s decision to extend the National Card Program to Russia and Belarus, Schengen.News reports.

The Chairperson of the Social Democratic Parliamentary Group also called on the European Union to respond to Hungary’s decision. According to her, border controls must be introduced.

Hungary mustn’t be driven out of the EU, but we have to protect ourselves.Leader of the Finnish Social Democratic Parliamentary Group, Tytti Tuppurainen

She said that border controls were introduced on lesser grounds during other major events and that now is the right time to start applying tighter checks.

Now it’d be fitting to reinstate border controls on the borders of Hungary because Hungary’s different stance on Russians is a potential security threat for the entire union. I’m of the opinion that the council should convene to discuss this issue without delay.Leader of the Finnish Social Democratic Parliamentary Group, Tytti Tuppurainen
