Hungary’s Orban Plans Constitutional Change After Refugee Vote

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he’ll propose a constitutional amendment after 98 percent of voters rejected European Union refugee quotas in a referendum on Sunday.
Playing down the fact that the referendum was non-binding because turnout fell short of the 50 percent threshold, Orban said the result gave him a “strong enough weapon” to lobby the EU to change its refugee policy.
