Low turnout voids No win in Hungary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban suffered a blow yesterday in his referendum against the EU's migrant quota plan after a low turnout, according to the first polls from the ruling Fidesz party.
A whopping 95 percent of voters supported Orban's 'No' camp, but only 45 percent of the eight-million-strong electorate cast their ballots, making the vote invalid, reports said.
Orban's right-wing government had urged voters to spurn the EU's quota plan, which aims to share migrants around the 28 member states without the consent of national parliaments.
