The Hungarian Parliament has passed a law obliging the government to challenge the EU decision on mandatory refugee relocation quotas in court next month. The bill, passed on November 16, states that the quota system ignores the European principle of subsidiarity and fails to grant national parliaments the opportunity to express their opinions. The plan calls for relocating 120,000 asylum seekers from Italy and Greece across the EU to help share the burden; Hungary would need to accept at least 2,000 refugees over two years. Hungary voted against the scheme at an EU meeting in September.
