The European Union is facing a revolt from a number of member states just hours after it passed a new migration pact to cross-continent asylum plan.
Hungary and Poland delivered Brussels with an immediate blow, with Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz voicing opposition to the proposal.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who was previously President of the European Council, said he will not agree to a new law obliging every country in the bloc to take its share of people.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó expressed his concern about the plan, claiming it was essentially green-lighting illegal immigration.
POLL OF THE DAY: Are EU nations right to fight for their sovereignty and stand up to Brussels? YOUR VERDICT

The system would supposedly see lesser impacted member states take on migrants from overwhelmed allies, including Italy and Greece.
In an exclusive poll for GB News membership readers, an overwhelming majority (98 per cent) of the 893 voters thought EU nations do have the right to fight for their sovereignty, while just two per cent thought they didn't.
The plan, which will ensure EU countries will have to relocate asylum applicants from nations disproportionately impacted by the crisis, was backed by 322 MEPs.
A total of 266 MEPs opposed the measures, with 31 MEPs also abstaining.
French populist Jordan Bardella, who emerged as Marine Le Pen's right-hand man in the National Rally, reiterated his concern about the plan and issued a warning to Emmanuel Macron ahead of the EU Parliamentary Elections.
He said: "Supported by Emmanuel Macron, the terrible European Migration Pact, which imposes the distribution of migrants in our municipalities under penalty of financial sanctions, has just been adopted.
"On June 9, let's impose the heaviest possible defeat on it and refuse this submergence project!"
Are nations right to fight for their sovereignty and stand up to the EU? Have your say.
