In Budapest, almost emptied of refugees the night before, the main railway station was again filling up with new arrivals, but trains to western Europe remained cancelled. So hundreds set off by foot, saying they would walk to the Austrian border, 110 miles away, like others had tried on Friday.
After days of confrontation and chaos, Hungary’s government deployed more than 100 buses overnight to take thousands to the Austrian frontier. Austria said it had agreed with Germany to allow them access, waiving asylum rules that require them to register in the first EU state they reach.
Hungary insisted the bus rides were a one-off, even as hundreds more people gathered in Budapest, part of a seemingly unrelenting human surge northwards through the Balkan peninsula from Turkey and Greece.
By contrast, the Austrian state railway company, OeBB, said it had added 4,600 seats by extending trains and laying on special, non-scheduled services.
Prime minister Viktor Orbán said on Saturday that Hungary would deploy police forces along its border with Serbia after 15 September, and the army too, if parliament approves a government proposal.
“It’s not 150,000 [refugees coming] that some [in the EU] want to divide according to quotas, it’s not 500,000, a figure that I heard in Brussels, it’s millions, then tens of millions, because the supply of immigrants is endless,” he said.

I would blame Merkel. By putting such a large number out there (800k), she is encouraging people to make the trip. Probably many who otherwise would not.
I read this morning...the charity food operations for Syrian refugees in Jordan is being cut. You can already guess...another hundred thousand by November will pack up and make the journey to Greece, and try to make Germany by Xmas. They all have a reason to get out of the region...I don’t blame them on that.
“I don’t blame them for that”; I DO, young men in that age group should be under arms to protect and take back their homes and country, not running away and asking for charity.
Cowardly Scum, the lot of them!
When will the first murder-by-”immigrant” happen? Good luck, Europe. It was nice while it lasted.
Maybe they can ask Greece to loan them a few euro's....
Already happened!
