In Hungary, refugees "rebelled" against the authorities of the country, said Prime Minister Viktor Orban. He recalled that in the last days the migrants who arrived in Hungary unauthorizedly crossed the border and stormed the stations, and was glad that the police were correct, Reuters reports.
“Given that we were faced with the uprising of illegal migrants, the police behaved wonderful, managed to do without the use of force,” Orban told reporters after meeting with the European People's Party Chairman in the European Union Manfred Weber.
Orban also recalled that on September 15, the law comes into force, according to which illegal migrants will be immediately detained. The illegal crossing of the border will be punishable by imprisonment of up to three years. The country's authorities also planned to ban free travel for migrants to Austria and Germany.
According to the Dublin agreement signed by all countries of the European Union, refugees are obliged to apply for asylum in the first EU country in which they found themselves. However, most migrants from Syria, Iraq and Eritrea do not want to stay in the poor countries of the European Union, such as Hungary and Greece, and with all their might strive to submit documents in rich countries with good social assistance programs - Germany and Sweden. They are trying not to get into crowded camps with all their might.
In early September, clashes between the police and migrants, which were banned on trains departing to Germany, broke out in Budapest. Within two days, the migrants protested at the Keleti station, claiming that they spent hundreds of euros on travel documents, which they are now not allowed to use. Some refugees after that were detained and sent by force to the local migration centers. The rest stated that they would go to the west.
Hungary is also attacked from the south - migrants cross the country's border on the way from Serbia. On the way to the prosperous countries of Europe, refugees agree to travel in suitcases , trunks and other strange ways. Such trips often end in the death of people. Thousands die in the Mediterranean Sea, never reaching the Old World.
In the spring, the leaders of the EU members decided to allocate a quota for refugees for each state in order to evenly distribute them along the EU. They promise to accept migrants not only in Europe: the United States, Australia and Venezuela are ready to join the quota system.
