Transcarpathian refugees harassed underage girl in a town near Budapest – draconic consequences

The mayor of Kerepes, a small town 22 kilometres away from Budapest, became fed up with those Transcarpathian refugees who regularly harass young local Hungarian girls.

László Gyuricza highlighted in a video that he would introduce zero tolerance against such acts. The men living in a workers’ hostel followed young girls, who desperately tried to flee and burst into tears. One of them was only 16, while the other was 22, index.hu wrote.

You can go and be tough with the Chechens

Mr Gyuricza talked with the girls’ parents and visited the problematic families, telling them he would no longer tolerate such an attitude. ‘I am not willing to accept the harassment of girls living in Kerepes. What do you think you are doing? You can go and be tough with the Chechens. You should have appreciated that we accepted you here. Are you not ashamed of yourself?”, the mayor yelled to them.

He asked police officers to act strongly and demonstratively in the town. The aim is to increase the subjective sense of security of the locals. He knew he would become a target of human rights advocates. But he must protect his family and the community entrusted him to lead.

The mayor highlighted that the refugees needed to leave the town until 1 May. Since Mr Gyuricza talked in Hungarian and there was no interpretation, we assume that the listeners were all Hungarian-speaking Roma, who came from Transcarpathia and sought refuge in the town close to Budapest.

I suspect that one plus one does not add up to two.

I was sure that Ukrainian men aged 18 – 60 (or thereabouts) could not legally leave their country, and I would’ve thought that they would’ve stopped at the Ukrainian side of the border, and if not, they should’ve been thoroughly questioned on our side of the border.

I would be inclined to think that those youg men are from a third country (“students”?).

If those are actual Ukrainians or genuine refugees, then I’m Donald Duck.

@Michael Steiner

They were probably Roma, as mentioned in the article. They are probably refugees, since they probably did come over from Ukraine.

However, it is often known that SOME (important to highlight it, as generalizations is wrong) Roma do have trouble integrating or interacting with local communities. I have cited empirical evidence in my comment down below. You are free to look at the paper.

Roma can be Hungarians, too … We’re always keen to point out minorities’ rights – Roma tend to not do so well in Hungary.

Since our Politicians has been handing out Hungarian passports (which conveniently double up as EU / Schengen passe partouts – let’s not forget the other upside of a Hungarian passport – think work anywhere) to anyone born in areas historically part of Hungary and ideally still speaking Hungarian (although that does not appear to be the case, either)… Well. Even if they were born in Ukraine, they may actually not be refugees but actually citizens of our great country, now?
