Orban: EU’s Permissive Stance on Migration Has ‘Turned the Mediterranean Into a Cemetery’
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has defended his strong stance against mass migration, saying the European Union’s relaxed attitude towards illegal border crossings “has turned the Mediterranean into a cemetery”. The national conservative leader offered his characteristically robust take on EU immigration policy in an interview with the German news outlet FOCUS, a translation of which has been seen by Breitbart London. “The main point of conflict between you and the EU is immigration. Why are you so opposed to the distribution of immigrants among EU member-states?” asked his interviewer, in reference to the EU policy of compulsory quotas for migrant redistribution which several conservative-leaning countries led by Hungary have been resisting. “Because it’s based on a wrong-headed concept,” Orbán explained. “We must take help to where the problems are, not bring those problems to Europe.

Experience seasonal rebirth as spring descends on Moc Chau valley
Apricot blossoms in Mu Nau Valley of Son La Province, northern Vietnam. Mu Nau Valley lies in sub-zone 13 of Moc Chau Town in Son La Province. Two kilometers south of Moc Chau center, the valley spans 200 hectares and comprises a 40-year-old apricot forest, a 25-year-old plum forest, and an old-growth forest. The route from the town to the valley is short but steep and requires excellent driving skills, often scaring first-timers. Leaving Moc Chau around 5 p.m, I was accompanied by Duy, owner of Pho Nui Tinh Yeu Homestay, to Mu Nau. He picked me up at the intersection near town and advised me to mentally prepare myself for the ride, an effort that would prove futile as soon as we hit the road. The higher we got, the more Duy revved his engine, with the slope becoming increasingly uncooperative. I was not in the least comforted by the fact I was on the back of a local's bike. At one point, I was shaking with my eyes closed shut out of fear the vehicle would flip over. As we … [Read more...] about Experience seasonal rebirth as spring descends on Moc Chau valley

A tax official guides a business owner through online tax procedures (Photo: laodong.vn) Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Businesses may have several additional months before they have to pay income tax and land-use fees , per a proposal from the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to the Government. The ministry proposed a five-month extension for business VAT tax, a three-month extension for income tax (for certain businesses only) and land-use fees, which may result in a more than 5 billion USD reduction in the State's budget collection during the first half of 2021. The proposal also included household and private businesses in sectors eligible for support as well as their income tax. The MoF said the State budget would still even out as taxpayers were expected to make full payments by the end of the fiscal year while citing numerous difficulties faced by the business community in dealing with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as grounds for the proposal. The ministry … [Read more...] about Tax deadline should be delayed for businesses, says ministry
