Hungarian border guards will get permission to shoot on migrants?

There is anarchy at the Hungarian-Serbian border, different migrant gangs took control and regularly opened fire on the Hungarian border guards. Police got an order that they should flee, provided they are under fire. Therefore, we should acknowledge that the current system does not work, so Hungarian armed forces should return fire, according to a Hungarian opposition party.

László Toroczkai, the head of Mi Hazánk, the second-third biggest opposition party in Hungary, talked about that in yesterday’s plenary session of the Hungarian Parliament. He said that human smugglers should be put into prisons instead of releasing them, while migrants should be placed in closed camps.

Bence Rétvári, the interior ministry’s secretary, did not reply to Mi Hazánk’s radical initiative. He said that creating such camps would mean that Hungarian authorities must register migrants in Hungary, so the country should take responsibility for them, infostart.hu wrote.

Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, said yesterday in Geneva that some people smugglers and migrants were armed with automatic weapons and had fired at the Hungarian border guards several times. “This cannot be tolerated; just like the statements of certain politicians that we should put up with it,” he said.

Let me understand. Registering refugees/migrants is undesirable, since the country that registers a refugee/migrant for the first time accepts responsibility for this person. Makes one curious as to what our Politicians actually propose we do with refugees/migrants who make it across the border. We let them through? This is perhaps why countries who border us are reinstating checks!

Mi Hazánk is not radical. In a world where people, communities, immunesystems, waterresourses, forests, foodsystems, children, education … Are sold to the highest bidder to be used to create value to the multi national corporation…. Mi Hazánk taked a very legit position in SELF DEFENCE against institutionalised abuse, exploitation, vandalism, murder.

The Hungarian army needs to provide security at the border in case of attacks with gunfire. That is a basic need of any country. The shooters must be eliminated.

Anyone, no matter whom they are or where they hail from that are shooting at Police or Border guards should be terminated with lethal force. Time to stop coddling criminals and those attempting to enter Hungary by force are criminals.
