Rigthwing hungarian government of Viktor Orbán is defining a new legislation which would authorise the hungarian Army to intervene to defend the State border against the mass migration coming from South, and declaring as a „criminal act” the illegal crossing of the hungarian border. These mesures would be taken paralelly with the building up of a four meters high fence along the 164 km border with Serbia. The rightwing dominated Hungarian National Assembly is waited to approve the new laws in the near future with a majority of more then 2/3. The Hungarian Social Forum (HSF) together with the Hungarian Helsinki Committee and the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) for Central Europe have severly criticized the planned step as incompatible with the ruling international laws signed also by Hungary. HSF and the Hungarian Community for Peace have taken the following principled position regarding the immigration: „The only way to stop the Exodus of the Peoples is to grant them existance in their own homelands. Instead of Wars and barbed wires Hungarian People is interested in the borning of a new World Order centered on Human Being. Meanwhile it is necessary to give answers to the concrete situation. Europe with Hungary inside became one of the main targets of the migration. It is not possible to see the end of this rush. What we can see now is that more and more people will take to the road if Western powers will not change their War policy and economical oppression and exploitation. Hungarian is a taking up people. He is aware with the requirements of Humanity and the commandment of life as supreme value. He is aware that it’s necessary to give food and drink to the refugees and their children, and place to lay their heads. But he also knows, that Hospitality has the limit of the compulsion of outrun the constable. We take the initiative of calling hungarian people and its government to start taking seriousely in consideration the finding of such new Allied, who do not want to use us as tool against other peoples fighting for life, existence, justice and freedom”. HSF has called the hungarian PM to answer positively to the offer of Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov to EU regarding the common gestion of the immigration problem. +++
