DESCRIPTION
Hungary's new government is already delivering a surprise that may shock Brussels. After Viktor Orbn's defeat, many in the EU expected Budapest to move fully into line, but Peter Magyar's TISZA government is now preparing a tough shutdown of non-EU work visas.Michael Heaver looks at Hungary's post-election direction, from EU hopes over Ukraine and Moldova membership to protests over the migration pact. He then turns to the striking domestic move: Hungary will stop issuing work visas to people from countries including the Philippines, Georgia and Armenia, and from June will halt non-EU worker visas completely. TISZA argues that foreign guest workers are pushing down local wages and taking jobs from Hungarians, echoing a tougher line on immigration than many expected.
