Orbán: “We need to act now on migration and border protection”

 

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, speaking at a conference on migration, called for swift action to be taken on migration and border protection and he also called for European unity.

 

Addressing the Budapest Migration Conference Orban said, “We need to act now. If European policymakers fail to make decisions immediately, then it will be impossible to stop later what has already begun.”

 

The prime minister cited UN data indicating that the population of Africa will rise by half a billion people in 13 years and the gap between the quality of life in Africa and Europe will widen. “Migration pressure from Africa will surely grow,” he said. Orban urged help to be given to Africans in their home countries rather than in Europe. The approach to migration by the eastern and western parts of Europe must be reconciled now because later this would become impossible to achieve, he said.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN SPACE POLICY MARCH 24-30, 2019

 

During the Week

 

House and Senate hearings on the FY2020 budget request begin in earnest this week, with appropriations or authorization hearings on DOD, NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Transportation (DOT). DOT appropriations hearings usually focus on high-level issues, so it is not likely that the FAA’s commercial space transportation activities will be discussed to any great degree, if at all, but may be of interest in any case. In brief, on Tuesday, Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, Jr. will testify to HASC ; on Wednesday, NOAA Acting Administrator Neil Jacobs in the morning, and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine in the afternoon, will testify to House Appropriations CJS Subcommittee;and also on Wednesday, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao will testify to Senate Appropriations THUD subcommittee.

 

In addition, on Wednesday, the House Budget Committee will hold a hearing on DOD’s request, and SASC’s Strategic Forces subcommittee will hold a hearing on military space operations, policy and programs. On Thursday, a HASC subcommittee will have a hearing on DOD’s request for S&T programs.
