Hungary is holding national consultations on the government’s policy on illegal immigration.
The mailing of the more than 8 million questionnaires will begin as of the beginning of May.
The postal service will need 30 to 40 days to deliver the letters, and answers are expected by 1 July.
The questionnaire includes 12 questions concerning illegal immigration, economic immigration and terrorism, according to the government website korm?ny.hu.
Answers will be expected from all Hungarian citizens of 18+ years of age.
According to Government Spokesperson Zolt?n Kov?cs, the questions will cover issues such as whether, in spite of the EU prohibition, keeping illegal immigrants in custody round the clock should be made possible.
In his words, the Hungarian government also seeks to find out citizens’ opinions on whether there should be scope for immediately deporting migrants who prove to have merely abused the European rules which “encourage illegal migration.”
The questionnaire also asks whether illegal immigrants arriving in Hungary should be required to take part in raising the expenditures which they themselves generate, according to Kov?cs.
According to Eurostat data, as cited by Bulgarian daily Sega, nearly 43 000 asylum applications were submitted in Hungary in 2014, while 13 000 new applications were filed in January 2015.
