Luxembourg wants Orbán isolated for ‘smashing’ EU values

Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg's Minister of Foreign Affairs, sharply criticised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Thursday (3 September) for saying refugees should not come to Europe, and that Muslims are not welcome in Hungary.

"One has to feel ashamed of Viktor Orbán,"  Asselborn told German broadcaster ZDF, calling Orbán a man who was smashing European values such as solidarity and helpfulness.

"We don't need such paroles," Asselborn said, adding that Orbán needed to be isolated in Europe and should not be an example for other leaders.
