Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia abandon attempts to block passage of migrants to Austria while EU struggles to find lasting political solution ___ The countries of central Europe suspended their resistance this weekend to Europe’s largest refugee exodus since the second world war, as Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia all shunted tens of thousands of people towards Austria, reversing most recent attempts to block their passage.
At least 15,000 refugees mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq were funnelled from Croatia into Hungary and then onwards to Austria over the weekend, the Austrian news agency APA said, after Hungary temporarily gave up trying to stop refugees from crossing its border. Another 2,500 have crossed from Croatia into Slovenia, despite Slovenia initially trying to block their passage.
The moves represent a volte-face from both countries – and in particular from Hungary. The Budapest government had previously tried to stop the entry of undocumented travellers by building a fence along its southern border with Serbia, and by posting military vehicles on its western border with Croatia.
But by Sunday, its resistance was mostly rhetorical. The country admitted thousands of refugees over the weekend from Croatia, whose shared border is not yet blocked by a fence, even as foreign minister Péter Szijjártó promised tougher measures in the future. Szijjártó said: “We are a state that is more than 1,000 years old that throughout its history has had to defend not only itself, but Europe as well many times. That’s the way it’s going to be now.”

Is this true? I thought the Hungarians were issuing the gas and rubber bullets.
“refugees” my eye.
There goes the neighborhood...
I don’t know yet. It could be that they are just overwhelmed.
And just how the heck did the “refugees” from Afghanistan get to Austria? Last time I checked there were a lot of borders to cross between the two.
The continent to be renamed Eurabia?
Extremely depressing if true.
I imagine as long as they don’t hang around in their country they don’t mind letting them through - though that may backfire when the country that they want to go to eventually says BASTA!
Europe’s death blow.
They’re out of live ammunition?
Yup.
Just glad my kid brother got his pic with a lot of Cathedrals. In a quarter century they’ll be razed, blown up or sport minarets...
Look at Greece. The citizens voted overwhelmingly to get out of the EU and the leaders they elected sold out.
Sending the invaders to Merkel on a one -way train seems like the way to go
The sooner Germany gets its clocks cleaned by mobs of belligerent demanding fanatics , the better
If they can get to turkey , they have it made
Some of the empty ones will be filled with squat dumping invaders soon
Imagine their joy at desecrating their livung quarters
I would urge caution about this article. The Guardian is a classic Leftist publication and they’ve been very pro-refugees and have joined in calling anyone against the invasion “racists” and “xenophobes”

“Palestinians used Bible toilet paper Muslims’ desecration of holy book received little notice”
European Christian history that’s survived a thousand years will be destroyed in an eyeblink.
At some point Europe is going to have to resort to bullets instead of platitudes because in the end the Muslims will rule over them if they don't stand up and resist these demon worshippers with deadly force.
