Hungary to hold referendum on migrant quotas


Hungary will hold a referendum on European Union plans for a system of mandatory quotas, an initiative that Hungary's government has rejected, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Wednesday.  He said the plebiscite, the first of its kind in Europe, would be a major test of European democracy.

The European Union's executive had no immediate comment on Orban's announcement. 

Stefan Bos has the latest on the announcement.
