Pope Francis on Sunday called on Hungarians to ‘open doors’ to migrants, as he wrapped up a three-day visit to the central European country led by a prime minister who is staunchly anti-immigration.
Throughout his visit to Budapest - dominated by the war in neighbouring Ukraine - Francis has emphasised a welcoming stance towards those fleeing conflict or poverty.
