05/07/2016 (Agence Europe) - Referendum in Hungary on migrant quotas to take place on 2 October. On Tuesday 5 July, the Hungarian government announced that it would be organising its referendum on migrant relocation quotas on 2 October next. This referendum was announced on 24 February by Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, and received the go-ahead from the Constitutional Court at the end of June, following the quashing of a series of appeals. At the end of 2015, both Hungary and Slovakia submitted a complaint to the European Court of Justice against the asylum seeker relocation policy. In principle, the Treaty formally demands Hungary to apply these decisions adopted last September by qualified majority voting. (SP)
