Hungarian Parliament to Vote on EU Quota

11:19     8 November, 2016

The Hungarian parliament is due to vote on a constitutional amendment which would ban the settlement of "foreign populations" in the country, BBC reports.

Last month, Hungarians voted to reject EU quotas in a referendum vote, but a low turnout rendered it invalid.

Of those who voted, 98% supported Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban's call to block the quotas. But only 40.4% of voters cast valid ballots, short of the required 50% threshold.
