Refugees break through newly-built border fence in Hungary

Translated from NOS TV in the Netherlands:
Hungary sends arrested Croat police officers back
Today, 09:41
Hungary has returned to their own country 36 Croatian police officers who were arrested yesterday for accompanying refugees in Hungary. The Croats were arrested because they were armed and because they had brought refugees ‘illegally’ into Hungary.
Also the driver of the train bringing more than a thousand refugees on their way to Austria was arrested.
Agreed
The majority of the approximately 14,000 refugees who yesterday were left by Croatia at the border with Hungary, has arrived in Austria, says correspondent Marcel van der Steen from Croatia. Last night the first buses with refugees arrived in Austria.
Hungary on Monday closed its borders to refugees, but now they seem to work with Croatia to make travel for the continued flow of asylum seekers to Austria possible. Croatia speaks of a coordinated approach with Hungary, where people at the Croatian border may change from Croatian buses to Hungarian buses and are brought directly to Austria.
But the Hungarian authorities call that a “lie” and announce that they will vote against Croatia’s accession to the Schengen area.
The fuss about the refugee train with Croatian supervisors should be seen according to Van der Steen as a political statement by Budapest underscoring their harsh clampdown on the refugee crisis.
Slovenian police said on Saturday that 1,287 had arrived as of midnight Friday, of which 483 were from Afghanistan, 470 from Syria and 126 from Iraq: here.
Good refugee news, from The Bike Comes First:
Marco Polo Cycling Team to relaunch as a team for refugees
Sep 17, 2015
The Marco Polo Cycling Team issued a press release today stating their intention to start racing again next year, with a team comprised of refugees, mainly from Eritrea.
NEW EU figures on asylum have spectacularly exploded the lies perpetuated by the Tories and the right-wing media that Britain is being besieged by “swarms” of refugees. Statistics published yesterday by the EU data agency Eurostat show that Britain received just one in 30 of the total number of the asylum claims made by new applicants in EU countries between April and June: here.
Hungary lets people through to Austria again since this morning. But the communication between Austria and Hungary lacks a lot. Austria isn’t informed about the number of refugees to expect.

You know I live 5 minutes from the Austrian border (but on the western part), I am Austrian, and my radio station is an Austrian one. So I get pretty much of the news pretty quickly. 🙂

Indeed. I hope you will be able to bring good news, maybe similar to the cycling news I have added to the blog post 🙂

Our Ireland correspondent writes:
One pound from every ticketholder passing through the turnstiles at a Belfast Irish League football derby on Saturday will be sent to help the refugees arriving in Europe.
Cliftonville Football Club is donating £1 from every £10 adult and £5 child entry fee to the European Club Assocation’s 90 Minutes For Hope charity in support of the ongoing refugee crisis.
The North Belfast side, Ireland’s oldest football club, hopes to raise thousands at its derby clash with East city rivals Glentoran at 3pm.
Cliftonville’s chairman, Gerard Lawlor, said buckets would be passed around the club’s Solitude stadium for fans to boost the fundraising scheme.
“Cliftonville Football Club has absolutely no hesitation in signing up to the 90 Minutes For Hope project and, we will be donating £1 to the initiative on behalf of every paying adult at the game with Glentoran.
“I have no doubt whatsoever that our supporters will make further contributions out of their own pockets as football fans across the continent join forces to take action in support of Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since the second world war,” Lawlor said.

At the moment, I suspect that while the Hungarian government’s attitude to Austria may be bad, their attitude to fellow European Union member Croatia, and to Serbia, is even worse.

Oh, the Hungarian government is of no support at all. That country is an obstacle in the middle of Europe. They only let them pass because of the international pressure.

So, there should be more international pressure. And also internal pressure: there are many decent people in Hungary:

ANOTHER man has died desperately trying to reach Britain from Calais.
The victim, believed to be Syrian, was reportedly electrocuted after trying to clamber on to a shuttle near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.
At least 10 people have died trying to cross from Calais into Britain since the refugee crisis began.
Tunnel operator Eurotunnel said a shuttle was stopped shortly after leaving the platforms in Calais due to people on the tracks at around 10.20pm on Thursday night.
A spokesman said: “The emergency services were called and immediately took them into their care. The authorities have subsequently confirmed the death of one of those taken into their charge.”

HUNGARIAN Prime Minister Victor Orban accused Croatia yesterday of a left-wing conspiracy to lead an Arab invasion of his country.
In a radio interview, anti-immigrant Mr Orban said that the wave of refugees fleeing wars looked “more like an army than asylum-seekers.”
While other countries could welcome “young men from the Arab world who look like warriors,” it was unacceptable “to have this forced upon Hungary.”
The PM accused Croatia’s Social Democratic Party government of “following the orders not so much of their people as of the Socialist International,” and of encouraging refugees to come to Europe.
Hungary has erected a 109-mile border fence and deployed armed troops to stop refugees entering from Serbia, leading them to find routes through Croatia to friendlier Austria and Germany.
Croatian Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic said yesterday that almost 100,000 refugees had entered the country since mid-September.
