AlQa'dah 15, 1436, August 30, 2015, SPA -- French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius accused eastern European states, notably Hungary, on Sunday of a "scandalous" policy towards refugees going against the values of the European Union, Reuters reported. "With regard to all those people who are politically chased out of their country we have to be able to welcome them," Fabius told Europe 1 radio. "Every country has to respond to that. France, Germany, others have, but when I see certain countries that do not accept these groups, I find that scandalous." "In particular eastern European states. They are extremely harsh. Hungary is part of Europe, which has values and we do not respect those value by putting up fences," Fabius said. "Hungary is not respecting Europe's common values so the European authorities need to have a serious discussions, even a stern discussion with its officials," Fabius said. In a joint statement on Sunday with his British and German counterparts, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said they had asked for an urgent summit to discuss immigration in the next couple of weeks. The three ministers "underlined the need to take immediate measures of face the challenge created by the influx of migrants," the statement said.
