Border fence around Hungary reinforced and extended
The fence along Hungary’s border with Serbia has been reinforced and extended, a state secretary of the interior ministry said at the Röszke crossing station on Tuesday.
Bence Rétvári said a 10 kilometre section had been added to an earlier fence of 165 kilometres in the Hercegszántó area. He added that the new section was protecting a marshy area “which had not seen many illegal entries earlier, but people smugglers discovered that new route last summer”.
So far, the Hungarian government has spent HUF 650 billion (EUR 1.8 billion) on building and maintaining its border seal, the state secretary said. “While Hungary also protects the European Union’s common border, the EU in fact does not contribute to border control costs and has only refunded one percent,” he insisted.
Rétvári said illegal migrants were “often equipped with knives and slings, and there were some in recent months coming with tear gas on them”. He insisted that migrants “well educated by rights groups” would “record police actions with their cameras so that they could later file a complaint against those enforcing the law”.
Despite the European Commission’s “countless” procedures, Hungary will “keep relentlessly guarding the southern border, return illegal entrants and detain and prosecute people smugglers”, he said.
György Bakondi, chief security advisor to the prime minister, said Hungary’s authorities had apprehended over 55,000 illegal entrants since the beginning of the year, adding that the total number had exceeded 965,000 since 2015. He said there was constant pressure on the border with Serbia, while migrant activities had increased on the borders with Romania, Croatia, and Slovenia, too. He said illegal migrants were now arriving exclusively with people smugglers, 448 of whom were detained in the first half of the year.
Hungarian and Serbian police jointly patrol both sides of the common border, while Hungary provides support to controlling the Serbia-North Macedonia border, too, Bakondi said.
Last year, migrants attacked the Hungarian border 304 times, assaulting patrol officers, damaging vehicles or the fence, with 97 shooting incidents on the Serbian side, Bakondi said. Since the beginning of 2023, there have been 56 attacks and 13 shots fired, he added.
Well done. There is a legal way to enter the country, visit a Consulate and fill out required forms. Governor DeSantis of Florida, US, shipped illegal migrants to Martha’s Vinyard. Hungary should dump all illegals to countries like Holland, Germany and Sweeden. Their bad policies started the down spiral of the EU.
Not to worry. In due time, they WILL be filling out those forms, and they WILL be getting the cheapest tix possible, all thanks to WizzAir’s new (planned) destinations, and most of those arriving to the EU (via BUD) will be continuing on to greener pastures elsewhere in the EU.
Happy now?
It should infuriate everybody that, instead of compensating and emulating Hungary, the despicable E.U. is doing what it can tom punish Hungary for protecting its border and, indeed, our civilization from millions of people who offer to contribute nothing and are totally incompatible with us culturally, economically, linguistically, socially, and in most every conceivable way. One wonders, as if we didn’t know already, who the E.U. works for and whom it represents.
