2015. IX. 6. Orbán Viktor a határzárak létesítését szorgalmazta az osztrák közszolgálati televíziónak (ORF) adott interjújában este. Azt mondta, határzárakat kell létesíteni és úgy fogalmazott, le kellene zárni Európa külső határait, Németországnak és Ausztriának pedig világosan ki kellene jelentenie, hogy nem fogad be több embert. A kormányfő azt mondta: ha ez nem történik meg, akkor több millió bevándorló fog Európába érkezni. Az előírások szerint az Európai Uniós határt érvényes papírok nélkül nem lehet átlépni, ezek ellenére Ausztria akadálytalanul átengedte a migránsokat, akiknek a nagy része gazdasági bevándorló - mondta. Rámutatott: a bevándorlók nem menedéket akarnak találni, hanem Németországban akarnak menekültek lenni.(Forrás: M1)
2015. IX. 6., vasárnap. Számunkra a szolidaritás azt jelenti, hogy megvédjük a határainkat - hangsúlyozta Szijjártó külügyminiszter a Der Standard című osztrák lap hétfői számában megjelenő interjújában. A tárcavezető szerint az osztrák kancellár kritikája nem egészen érthető, hiszen egyrészről figyelmeztette Magyarországot, hogy regisztrálja és ne engedje át a menekülteket Ausztriába, másrészről a magyar-szerb határon álló kerítés építését bírálta. El kell dönteni, hogy mit akarunk: védeni a határokat, vagy mindenkit átengedni? - tette fel a kérdést. Elmondta: a kerítés azzal a céllal épült, hogy a migránsokat a törvényes határátkelőkhöz irányítsa. Tájékoztatása szerint jelenleg azon dolgoznak, hogy a magyar-szerb határon létesüljön három tranzitzóna, ahol az emberek benyújthatják menedékkérelmüket, amelyet gyorsan és egyenként bírálnak majd el. Aki megkapja a menekültstátust, az beutazhat Magyarországra, akinek azonban elutasítják a kérelmét, annak el kell hagynia a tranzitzónát Szerbia irányába - mondta. Kiemelt fontosságú az illegális határátlépések megakadályozása. Elmondta: korábban a menekültek együttműködőek voltak, azonban a vitatható németországi bejelentést, miszerint a szíriai menedékkérők esetében Németország felfüggeszti a Dublini Rendeletet, meghívásként értékelték, és már kevésbé kooperatívak. 99 százalékuk Szerbián át érkezik és mintegy 150 ezer ember nyújtott be menedékkérelmet az országban. Azonban az a gond, hogy csaknem mindegyikük elhagyta az országot még azelőtt, hogy az eljárás megkezdődött volna. (Forrás: M1)

6 September 2015 Hungary must look to its own history for migrant guidance. Once, the country was quite happy to send those it disliked to Germany... Funny what a weather-vane the Second World War becomes in the hands of politicians and journalists. Europe faces the biggest refugee crisis since the 1939-1945 conflict, we are solemnly told. And there are the Hungarian police standing before the crowds of poor and desperate souls – most of them Muslims – outside Budapest’s main railway station, where even ticket-holders could not board the trains. Funny how the old memory buds don’t kick in at this point. For just 71 years ago, the Hungarian police were forcing tens of thousands of Jews on to trains out of Budapest, desperate to get them to Auschwitz on time. Eichmann was setting the rules. And don’t think that the Hungarians were just unwilling tools of Germany’s march into Hungary towards the end of the war. The Hungarian police actually escorted the Jewish deportation trains right up to the border of Austria – which was then part of the Großdeutsches Reich – so that the Nazi authorities could speed them on to the extermination camps.

2015. IX. 6. Németország további 3 milliárd eurot - mintegy 900 milliárd forintot - fordít a migrációs válság kezelésére - derült ki a német kormánykoalíció ülésén, ahol arról is megegyeztek, hogy gyorsítani
kell a menedékkérelmek elbírálását, és gyorsabban kell menhelyeket építeni. (Forrás: M1)
Vatican
September 6, 2015 Pope calls on Catholics to shelter Europe's migrants. As thousands of refugees from war-torn countries like Syria and Afghanistan poured into Germany and Austria Sunday, Pope Frances urged "every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary of Europe, take in one family." The migrants were traveling from Hungary where they had been stranded for days as European leaders debate how to best handle the surge. On Saturday, about 7,000 people crossed the border on foot from Hungary to Austria. A similar amount arrived into Munich's central train station by Saturday evening. "I appeal to the parishes, the religious communities, the monasteries and sanctuaries of all Europe to ... take in one family of refugees," Pope Francis said after his Sunday address in the Vatican. There are more than 25,000 parishes in Italy alone, and more than 12,000 in Germany, where many of the Syrians fleeing civil war and people trying to escape poverty and hardship in other countries say they want to end up. The pope’s call was another in a series of recent public interventions by the Vatican to end conflicts and reconcile differences between countries. Around half of Syria's population of 20 million have fled the country or been displaced internally amid a civil war that has raged for over four years. (Source: USA today): http://tinyurl.com/nwdtbkh

Sunday, September 6, 2015 Thousands more migrants streamed into Germany, greeted with cheers and "welcome" signs, as Pope Francis called on every Catholic parish in Europe to take in a refugee family. "The people here treat us so well, they treat us like real human beings, not like in Syria" - said Mohammad, 32, from the devastated town of Qusayr. Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II has exposed a growing east-west rift within the EU, with frontline Hungary - which first held back migrants, but later sent them on to Austria and Germany - rejecting the bloc's "failed immigration policy". Hungary's conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has sought to secure his country's Serbian border with a fence, has voiced concern about mostly Muslim refugees undermining what he called Europe's Christian identity. Pope Francis, however, in a Sunday sermon stressed it was Christian to help those in desperate need and urged "every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary in Europe" to take in a family. "Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of asylum-seekers fleeing death (as) victims of war and hunger who are hoping to start a new life, the gospel calls on us to be the neighbour of the smallest and the most abandoned, to give them concrete hope" - he said in Saint Peter's Square in Rome. The Vatican's two parishes would take in two refugee families "in the coming days", he said, setting an example for more than 50,000 other parishes across the continent. As train and busloads have kept on coming from Hungary, Germany took in another 6,000 people by 15:00 GMT and expected 4,000 more through the day, after about 8,000 refugees arrived on yesterday. In all, Europe's most populous nation expects 800,000 new asylum applications this year- four times last year's total - at an estimated cost to the state of 10 billion euros. But Austrian Chancellor Faymann warned today his country's admittance of thousands of refugees crossing from Hungary was just a "temporary" measure. "There is no alternative to a common European solution," said Faymann, calling for an EU summit immediately after a September 14 interior ministers' meeting. With many migrants also still crossing to Greek islands close to Turkey, Athens on Sunday sent more troops to Lesbos after fresh clashes between police and migrants, the public broadcaster said, while Syrian refugees on the island were targeted in Molotov cocktail attacks. There have been repeated clashes on the island between police and migrants, and between migrants themselves, over delays to the registration process. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is expected to present a plan on September 9 to relocate 120,000 refugees from overstretched Italy, Greece and Hungary. Under Juncker's plan, Germany would take in about 31,000, followed by France with 24,000 and Spain with almost 15,000. German Chancellor Angela Merkel on September 5 spoke by phone with Hungary's Orbán, and both agreed to "meet their European obligations, including their obligations under the Dublin agreement". Under the Dublin rules, asylum applications must be processed by the country where a person first arrives. Merkel was set to hold a crisis meeting on the refugee issue later today with her coalition partners. One of them, her Bavarian conservative sister party CSU, criticised the easing of travel rules as "a wrong decision", arguing they attracted more refugees. (Source: Yahoo): http://tinyurl.com/pyeb4n3
