"It is obvious that the UN officials spreading these lies about Hungary are biased pro-migration officials," Peter Szijjarto told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

The official also stressed that Hungary's authorities "will never allow one single illegal migrant to enter the territory" of the state.
