Armed migrant hunters on the Hungarian border?

The local mayor and field guards are hunting for migrants during the evenings in a small town called Ásotthalom.

Toroczkai saw armed migrants as well

“SHOCKING: Armed migrants on the Hungarian border!” László Toroczkai, President of the Mi Hazánk Mozgalom (Our Country Movement), published a video on his Facebook page.

The video shows people climbing over a fence, one of them holding a rifle in his hand. According to Toroczkai, this video was made on the southern border at Ásotthalom where he is the mayor.

Conflict with Freedom Rights activists

In the video, Toroczkai first accuses the government of deliberately arresting illegal border crossers only later, saying that the government will not act because it would be bad in the election campaign period if it turns out they cannot protect the border, summarises 444.hu.

He then goes on to say that the Society for Freedom Rights (Társaság a Szabadságjogokért – TASZ) reported the Ásotthalom field guard to the state police, so the police also invited two of their subordinates for questioning. According to Toroczkai, the field guards employed by the municipality have the right to take action against “migrant criminals who cause damage to our forests, damage to our homesteads, damage to the border fence itself”. Therefore, if Mi Hazánk, his party, is elected to Parliament, it would mean the end of TASZ, says the politician in the video.

TASZ told 444.hu that they did not actually file a complaint but asked the government office and the police to investigate whether the Ásotthalom field guard was operating legally.
