Kövér also called for cooperation with patriots in the United States to protect “democratic states as institutions of legitimate public power” from “private powers lacking democratic legitimacy, seeking to subject democratic states in a clandestine way.”
The Patriots for Europe adopted a political declaration urging a stricter migration policy.
Kinga Gál, the party group’s vice-chair, said the issue of migration was in need of the most urgent action, adding that a “migration crisis” threatened Europe’s future.
The Fidesz MEP said that before the EP elections the “pro-migration majority” in Brussels had forced through “old, bad solutions” contained in the migration pact, which encouraged migration rather than seeking to prevent it. European migration policy must be put on a completely new footing, she said.
The Patriots for Europe’s proposals call for effective external border protection and a complete ban on illegal border crossings, she said. Only people who have the right to enter and stay in the EU should be able to do so, she added.

Mass migration the gravest threat to Europe’s future
Jordan Bardella, the group’s chair, said mass migration was the gravest threat to Europe’s future, adding that the process was irreversible and transformed nation states, with enclaves and non-Western laws “formed everywhere”.
The group adopted a joint statement on migration at the meeting. Gal said the topic was chosen because the group saw it as the one requiring urgent action the most. “There is definitely a migration crisis in Europe, and it is threatening the continent’s future,” she said. Besides effective border control, the party group has called on the regular review of refugees’ asylum status, and asylum seekers who have committed crimes or subscribe to extremist views must be expelled from the EU, she added. They are also demanding “a firm stance against civil and lobby organisations organising illegal migration to Europe”.
They are calling on the EU to refrain from stopping member states from implementing stringent immigration regulations and for an opt-out option from the EU’s migration regulations. The EU should also withdraw all sanctions against member states for measures designed to stop illegal migration, she said.
The parties rejected the EU’s migration policy and all attempts at putting political pressure on member states and leaders fighting illegal migration effectively on their own authority, she said.
