Hungary Confiscates Croatian Migrant Train
Sky News ^ | 9-18-2015 | Sky News

Hungary has confiscated a Croatian train that tried to transport 1,000 migrants into the country - describing its arrival as a breach of EU law.

Budapest said 40 police officers accompanying the 1,000 migrants were disarmed and sent back to their homeland during the "major, major incident" - though Croatia denied weapons had been taken.

The migrants are being transferred from the town of Magyarboly to a reception camp, while Hungary claimed it had arrested the train driver.

Hungary has stated repeatedly that it will charge such migrants with illegal entry and expel them back to the country from which they arrived.

The train's seizure is the latest development in a spat between Croatia and Hungary which has left the fate of thousands of migrants uncertain.

Croatia's foreign minister, Vesna Pusic, had told Sky News that the countries had agreed "to provide a corridor", adding that "all these people want to go to Germany or northern Europe".

But Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs told Sky News' Mark Stone this was a "lie".

More than 4,000 migrants were sent from Croatia to Hungary on Friday after officials in Zagreb said the country did not have capacity to accommodate the 17,000 who had arrived since Wednesday.

Just broke a few hours ago.

Croatia tried sending an "Unregistered Train" full of Muzzie Immigrants through Hungary to the Austrian Border.

Croatia doesn't want tm and Hungry doesn't want them because the E.U. Treaty says they are the responsibility of the first Schengen Country they step foot in.

That would be Hungry.

I want to be a migrant, I want to leave England and move to Hungary.

We’d fit in, and we’re already familiar with Budapest.

This is what ‘community organizing’ looks like.

“The Croatian system for handling migrants and refugees has collapsed basically in one day,” according to the spokesperson for the Hungarian government, Zoltan Kovacs, who gave a statement to the press in Beremend close to the Croatian border, on Friday.

The spokesman was flanked by aide to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Gyorgy Bakondi.

Hungary is OFFICIALLY charging the Croatian Government with Human smuggling

I think they mean the Croatian police on the train were disarmed.

Here is a thought. Close their borders down, don’t let any of them into Europe from Turkey and tell Germany to shut the hell up about changing Europe.

That is right from the article.

Seriously, I’m curious, what are you saying?

Know what?

You’re right.

But no, I’m not embarrassed.

Keep stalking me though, if you’d like.

shame some of the countries over there are led by fools who don’t agree.

This nonsense could be over in a week if the Europeans sorted this out and dealt with it as they should and to hell with the pansy media and left wing kooks.

Isten, áldd meg a magyart

The first line of the Hungarian National Anthem

Literal translation of the first verse

O God, bless the nation of Hungary
With your grace and bounty
Extend over it your guarding arm
During strife with its enemies
Long torn by ill fate
Bring upon it a time of relief
This nation has suffered for all sins
Of the past and of the future!

Nothing personal.
I just worry when it seems I'm having comprehension problems, is all. I just stalk myself.

“Budapest said 40 police officers accompanying the 1,000 migrants were disarmed-————”


This is how it reads.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, sort of. Move to Mexico for a brief time, then sneak across the border and get all kinds of benefits, and a free pass to commit crime. Life will be good!
