Hungarian PM vows action against hefty EU fine

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has vowed to retaliate to a European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling imposing significant financial penalties on Hungary for not complying with European Union (EU) asylum policies, reported Xinhua.

"We think that Brussels has no right to tell us who we should live with," Orban said in an interview on public radio on Friday.

The ECJ announced on Thursday that it has ordered Hungary to pay a lump sum of 200 million euros, and a daily fine of one million euros, until it aligns with the EU's asylum regulations.
