A referendum on mandatory EU migrant quotas was held in Hungary on Sunday. Despite low turnout (43 percent, short of the 50 percent required for validity) Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared victory because 98 percent of those who did vote refused the quotas. What the official communication does not reveal is the public outrage against the xenophobic campaign. Several parties, organizations and public figures called on people to refuse the highly populist framing of the issue by not voting. The controversial EU plan to relocate 160,000 migrants would prescribe Hungary to receive 1,294.
