Hungary’s border police have apprehended nearly 100,000 illegal entrants since the beginning of the year, over twice as many as in the first half of last year, the prime minister’s chief domestic security advisor told public television M1 on Wednesday.
György Bakondi said the increase in numbers indicated a growing tendency in illegal migration, adding that the migrants were mostly young men approaching the border “in large groups trying to cross the border damaging the infrastructure and vehicles and behaving aggressively towards police and soldiers protecting the border”.
