Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday that Hungary must reject the European Union's migration pact, arguing that it posed a "deadly threat" to the country.

PM Orbán told public radio that the migration pact, which was backed by the opposition parties, also posed a terrorist threat.

Concerning the multiple bomb threats made against Hungarian schools on Thursday, the prime minister said that the state was there when needed. Orban said the threats needed to be taken seriously because Western Europe has seen not only threats but also terrorist acts.

Discussing the latest developments, he said the interior ministry is investigating the threats, and the government had quickly brought the "chaos" that had arisen from the threats under control.

PM Orbán said that because similar events had previously occurred in Slovakia and Bulgaria, it was possible that the threats had come from "some sort of international center". He said that though life was "back to normal, threats like this can happen these days".
