[IsraelTimes] Hundreds of distressed people refuse to disembark after arriving at refugee centers for asylum seekers; voyages to Germany, Austria canceled
| Hungary's dilemma was really "a German problem. Nobody would like to stay in Hungary. All of them would like to go to Germany." |
Thousands of people desperate to reach Western Europe rushed into a Budapest train station Thursday after police ended a two-day blockade, setting off a wave of anger and confusion as hundreds shoved their way onto a waiting train. But when it tried to drop them off at a Hungarian camp for asylum seekers, a bitter showdown began.
One man threw his wife and infant son onto the tracks, screaming in Arabic, "We won't move from here!" Police surrounded the prone family, pulled the husband away and handcuffed him as he wailed. His wife and diaper-clad boy -- apparently uninjured despite their stumbling descent onto the tracks -- were freed and allowed to rejoin other migrants. |
