Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orb'an, has warned "countries that don't stop immigration will be lost"

Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orb'an, has warned "countries that don't stop immigration will be lost" in a speech three weeks before he seeks re-election for a third term.

"Africa wants to kick down our door, and Brussels is not defending us," Orb'an told the crowds gathered outside the Hungarian parliament building in drizzling rain. "Europe is under invasion already, and they are watching with their hands in the air."

Addressing a huge crowd of supporters in Budapest on Thursday, Orb'an used the speech to paint the upcoming vote as part of an existential battle for the survival of Hungary and Europe.

Marchers waved Hungarian flags and placards supporting Fidesz, Orb'an's party. Many were bussed in from towns across Hungary, and several thousand conservative Poles travelled to Budapest to back the Hungarian leader.

"We're here because we support Orb'an, and we want to protect Hungary and defend everything we've achieved in the past years," said Zsolt Kepecz, 40, who travelled with about 50 people from the small town of Putnok in northern Hungary.
