匈牙利警方与涌入难民的斗争

 　　HUNGARIAN-SERBIAN BORDER—Hungarian police on Monday struggled to control refugees entering by the thousands at Hungary’s border with Serbia.

　　Police kept a large group of exhausted¹ and anxious refugees in a holding area, a few meters from a gap in the border fence where a rail line linking Serbia and Hungary passes, and where most refugees have been entering on foot. When buses arrived to begin loading the refugees to take them to a registration² center, hundreds of them stampeded.

　　Some tried to board the buses, while others set out on foot on the highway to Budapest, where many hope to catch trains to the Austrian border and on to Germany.

　　“Every day, thousands of people come across. Only today, it’s more than 2,000 people who have crossed this border line, which means they have entered the European Union,” said Kristof Gancs, a spokesman for Hungarian Interchurch Aid, a relief organization. Gancs and other relief workers gave directions to the migrants arriving on foot along the railroad tracks, some pushing strollers with babies and elderly people in wheelchairs.

　　Hungarian Police Struggle with Refugee Influx³

　　Refugees interviewed all told similar stories of fleeing war in their homelands. “I really want to go to a place where I could be alive, to be alive,” said a refugee from Afghanistan as he approached the police holding area from the border fence.

　　Relief workers also tried to calm the nerves of some migrants who feared Hungary would send them back.

　　In a policy shift, Hungary is now granting passage to the Austrian border for those who state they are refugees and not economic migrants. In the process, Hungarian officials are taking their fingerprints⁴ and holding them at registration centers while their status is determined⁵ and decisions are made whether to send the migrants on to the Austrian border or return them to Serbia.

　　At a gap in the border fence, on the Serbian side, a group relaxed and roasted corn on a campfire.

　　“They’re waiting to decide whether to enter Hungary illegally or not, because if they enter, then their fingerprints will be taken and they will be registered in Hungary,” said Momand Ferdaus, a volunteer. “The migrants, they don’t actually know clear enough what’s going to happen to them once they enter Hungary.”

　　The path along the railroad tracks was littered with torn migration⁶ documents from Greece. Many of the migrants tried to destroy any evidence of their prior presence in the European Union, in the belief that it might somehow be cause for Hungary to deport⁷ them. Most want to go to Germany via Austria.

　　There is only so much relief workers can say to reassure⁸ the migrants as EU governments decide how to deal with the influx.

　　“It’s changing from day to day,” said Gancs. “Right now Germany says everyone from Syria is a refugee and they’re welcome there. This means they won’t be sent back to Hungary. This is the situation now. We don’t know how long it will last.”

　　Right to asylum⁹

　　On Monday, both France and Britain agreed to accept thousands of people from the war-torn Mideast. But the numbers they have agreed to take in — France said it would take 24,000 over the next two years; Britain, 20,000 over the next five — are dwarfed¹⁰ by the sheer masses of migrants streaming in.

　　Germany has said it is willing to accept 800,000 migrants, many of whom already have relatives in the country and are being urged to join their families there. Europe's wealthiest country, Germany also said Monday it is making an additional $6.6 billion in public funds available next year to absorb the refugees into German society.

　　In a wide-ranging press conference Monday, French President Francois Hollande called the right to asylum was an integral part of France and its history, Hollande said the country would take 24,000 asylum seekers out of about 160,000 the European Union’s executive arm wants to divide among member states over the next two years. That may include hundreds of those newly arrived in Germany.

　　Elsewhere, British Prime Minister David Cameron said 20,000 Syrian refugees from camps in Turkey, Jordan and Syria would settle in Britain over the next five years. He said vulnerable children and orphans¹¹ would be given priority.

　　Europe has struggled to cope with the continent's biggest migrant crisis since World War Two, with Hungary at the forefront of trying to block their passage to much wealthier Germany and Scandinavian countries.

　　Quota¹² system

　　Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban denigrated¹³ the EU's call to distribute migrants through a quota system.

　　Orban described his country as a "black sheep'' representing a voice of reason in the 28-nation EU.

　　The flood of refugees is unrelenting, with 15,000 to 18,000 stranded¹⁴ on the Greek island of Lesbos in what migration minister Giannis Mouzalas described as "miserable¹⁵" conditions. He said two-thirds of them would be transported to the Greek mainland in the next five days.

　　One Lesbos resident, Efi Latsoudi, deplored¹⁶ the Greek effort to cope with the influx of refugees.

　　''The situation is the result of our political unwillingness¹⁷, or incapacity, or don't know what it is, to help these people," Latsoudi said. "We never created reception conditions, we never created a place that these people have some support, have some information in the system."

　　Hungary eases travels

　　Despite Hungary's opposition¹⁸ to the mass refugee migration, passage through the country is much smoother than it was last week when the central European nation seemed ready to do whatever it could to prevent the migrants from entering the wealthier western European nations.

　　Hungarians are now posting Austrian train schedules for the refugees at Budapest's Keleti station. Last week, police tear-gassed the migrants at Keleti who wanted to go to Austria.

　　One observer said the trains to Austria are now "just loaded" with migrants.

　　Upon their arrival at Vienna's Westbahnhof train station, the refugees are met with applause from Austrians who efficiently¹⁹ guide the travelers from one train to another in their journey to Germany. Very few of the refugees are opting²⁰ to stay in Austria.

　　The train ride from Budapest to Vienna is not exactly comfortable as refugees have to wait in long lines, but at least the journey is possible, which it was not last week.

　　Austria has, however, said it plans to lift the emergency measure that has made that route relatively²¹ easy.

　　Other information in the pipeline²² that could change soon includes a number of holes and gaps in the razor fence at the Hungary-Serbian border. Hungary says it intends to patch the holes, but for now, refugees are streaming through.
