Hungary wants out of EU?

END OF EU? Uprising continues as top Hungary minister says 'we want OUT of European Union'

THE Hungarian Prime Minister's right hand man has said he does not want to remain in the European Union (EU) as it fails to protect European values.

the Express,

30 June, 2016

Janos Lazar's shock revelation on Thursday afternoon came as a growing number of EU members have joined a queue to back leaving the bloc after Britons voted to leave last week.

The Minister for the Prime Minister's office, said: "I couldn't vote whole-heartedly for Hungary to stay in the EU.

"Europe does not equal the EU. The EU is not able to protect the rights and values of Europe.

He said it was his own opinion, and not the government's.

Mr Lazar voted for Hungary to join the EU 12 years ago, but said he has been very disappointed ever since.

Mr Lazar added: "The Hungarian government is not planning on holding a referendum on leaving the EU."

Hungary, which joined the EU in 2004, has become part of a core group of rebels, including Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who threatened today to draw up their own plans for a less centralised EU.

Poland, which also joined in 2004, is leading the rebellion by nine former communist countries after accusing the old guard - Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands - of monopolising EU discussions after holding private talks in Berlin over the weekend.

Last week's referendum alarmed governments in the former communist eastern region of the EU who had seen London as their main eurosceptic ally in efforts to reduce centralised control from Brussels.

It is thought the UK's exit from the EU will further isolate central and eastern European member states in the 28-member bloc.

Mr Lazar's views came the day after Mr Orban made an angry speech in which he hit out at Brussels chiefs for losing sight of what the bloc stands for.

He said: "Those 27 countries who remain the part of the EU should practice self-criticism.

"If we want to restore the democratic nature of the EU, we should return to the thought that the base of the European Union is its countries and not its institutions. The European Union is not in Brussels, but in the 27, or - for the time being - in its 28 European capitals, that has got a co-operation centre in Brussels.

"We should divide the question of the EU membership from the question of migration. It is possible to create European migration politics, in harmony with the Hungarian national interest."

Mr Orban also said the EU's failure to manage the migrant crisis was to blame for Britain voting to leave the EU and warned further referendums could follow.

He added: "The important question is what lessons to draw from what happened, for us Europeans who are still members of the European Union and want to stay in.

"If the EU cannot solve the migration situation then such challenges as we saw in the case of the United Kingdom will increase."

Mr Orban's ruling Fidesz party will be holding a referendum in September or October on whether Hungary should reject any future mandatory quotas from Brussels to resettle migrants arriving en masse from countries such as Syria.

Hungary, which built a fence on its southern border to keep out migrants, has repeatedly accused the EU of weakness in the face of the crisis, calling for tough policies like fortified borders and strict immigration procedures.

Clinton: You Dirty Little Putins!

Bill Clinton to Poland and Hungary: Do As We Say on Immigration, You Dirty Little Putins!

Daniel McAdams

Ron Paul Institute,

20 May, 2016

Shortly after World War II, after the Soviet Red Army liberated Hungary from Nazi occupation, the Hungarians held their first election in six years. The November, 1945 vote resulted in an overwhelming victory for a coalition led by the agrarian, anti-communist Hungarian Smallholders Party. This victory at the ballot box infuriated Hungary's Communist Party and Hungary's new occupying Soviet overlords. Little by little, in what became known as "salami tactics," the Hungarian communists chipped away at the ruling coalition -- slicing off one piece of salami (coalition partner) at a time until nothing was left. Once accomplished, a new election was held in which the Communists captured power and ruled for 40 years from the barrel of a Soviet tank (literally in 1956).
Thus, having helped liberate Hungary from occupation by a totalitarian power (the Nazis) that forced the Hungarians to obey Berlin, the Soviets succeeded in establishing a totalitarian occupation that forced the Hungarians to obey Moscow. It is little wonder that many Hungarians bitterly oppose foreign meddling in their affairs.
We are told that the United States liberated the Soviet bloc from authoritarian Soviet rule in 1989. Thus having finally freed Hungary from the fascist and communist totalitarians, Hungary might finally be able to exercise its own sovereignty and determine its own domestic and foreign policies. 
In reality, shortly after the "liberation," the US applied the kind of political pressure that was still fresh in the minds of most Hungarians. The first elected government was too nationalist, complained Washington. The US openly favored a return to power of the "reformed" communist party, which with Washington's assistance was accomplished in 1994. The US meddling in Hungary's internal affairs has continued non-stop since Hungary's "liberation" -- just like Soviet meddling in Hungary's internal affairs continued non-stop after Moscow liberated Budapest from Berlin.
Lately the US (and EU bureaucrats in Brussels) have taken to browbeating Hungary and the rest of the "bad boys" in central Europe like Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic for refusing to accept tens of thousands of refugees fleeing from the countries being bombed by the US (with the assistance of EU bureaucrats in Brussels). Don't make your problem our problem, say the central European leaders.
Who do these pipsqueaks think they are questioning Washington like that, scoff the US power elite. The latest missile fired at central Europe came from former President Bill Clinton, who slammed Poland and Hungary in New Jersey earlier this week over their refusal to obey Brussels and Washington. 
Clinton's message was clear: "we liberated you and gave you back your sovereignty - now do as we say!"
Said Clinton:

Poland and Hungary, two countries that would not be free but for the United States and the long Cold War, have now decided now that this democracy's too much trouble. They want Putin-like leadership. Just give me an authoritarian dictatorship and keep the foreigners out. Sound familiar? 

As he did for much of his eight years in office, Clinton got this one horribly wrong. Hungary has not "given up on democracy" when it comes to accepting refugees. In fact, Hungary has embraced more democracy than Clinton and his wife would ever tolerate from voters on the immigration issue. Earlier this month the Hungarian parliament approved a nationwide referendum on whether Hungary should accept the mandatory refugee quotas imposed by Brussels. Democracy enough?
But to Clinton and Clinton (and her big backer George Soros), allowing the people to vote on a fundamental issue such as refugee policy is not democratic. It's only considered democratic if the Hungarian government takes dictation from Washington and Brussels and ignores the will of the Hungarian people.
If Hillary is elected, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban should declare both the Clintons persona non grata.

Le Pen: Clinton Most 'Dangerous' US Presidential Candidate for France

Marine Le Pen claims that former US State Secretary Hillary Clinton is the most "dangerous" for France candidate in the race for the post of the president of the county as she has "gone hand in hand" with the US decisions that plunged the world into "chaos".

Sputnik,

30 May, 2016

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Former US State Secretary Hillary Clinton is the most "dangerous" for France candidate in the race for the post of the president of the county as she has "gone hand in hand" with the US decisions that plunged the world into "chaos," France’s National Front (FN) party leader Marine Le Pen said.

"There is a candidate who appears a lot more dangerous for France than the others — that's Hillary Clinton… this is a woman who has gone hand in hand with the full spectrum of American decisions which have plunged the world objectively into chaos, " Le Pen told the RT television channel in an interview released Friday.

Le Pen expressed her belief that Clinton would continue this "destructive policy, a policy of conflict, a policy of imprisonment of Europe in blinded Atlanticism, I think it's a danger for world peace."

The 2016 US presidential election will take place in November. Hillary Clinton is the frontrunner of the Democratic Party, closely followed by Senator Bernie Sanders. Business tycoon Donald Trump became the effective Republican Party presidential candidate by winning in a landslide victory the primary election in the US state of Indiana on May 3.

Hungary Claims Europe Has 900 “No Go Zones” Run By Terrorists

Veterans Today,

2 April, 2016

[ Editor’s Note: Hungary hits the nail on the head with the 900 no-go terrorist nests all over the EU, and is challenging the incompetency of the EU leadership over quite a period of time. But out of good manners, Hungary will not say what I will.

There could only be one of two reasons, the obvious incompetence… but when it extends over a long time through many political administrations, one has to look deeper. Where were all the professional security people during all of this, both the civilian and military side?

The chances that they stood down — along with the political class — without a powerful entity putting on the pressure seems very slim in my book. I would not use the “doo-doo happens” convenient sluff off.

Where does this leave the unfortunate citizens, if their politicians and defense classes are using their own people as cannon fodder on this emerging mini-war of the worlds?

The good news is that we saw a significant political shift in the last German elections, and we have the Dutch vote coming up and the challenges from the newer East European members, Poland and Hungary, who are acting like they don’t want to be cannon fodder… but again, for whom?

The EU is not something they can punch in the face, or even spray paint like a ghost. We will cross our fingers that this early resistance we are seeing now has some staying power, because it will take a long time to undo the damage that has been foisted on Europe… Jim W. Dean ]

– First published  …  April 02, 2016 –

More than 900 ‘no-go’ places with large numbers of illegal migrants are concentrated in EU capitals, such as Paris, Stockholm, Berlin and London, the Hungarian government says, adding no one knows how many terrorists arrive undetected.

_

“The “no-go” areas can’t or almost can’t be controlled by the authorities. In European cities such as Paris, London, Stockholm or Berlin, where there is a high number of immigrants, more than 900 of these “no-go” zones exist,”says the website, launched this week by the government ahead of a referendum in Hungary on the EU quota plan.

“The mandatory European quotas increase the terrorist risk in Europe and imperil our culture,” the website says. “Illegal migrants cross the borders unchecked, so we do not know who they are and what their intentions are. We do not know how many of them are disguised and may be terrorists.”

The website also showed a ticking clock representing an asylum seeker arriving in the EU every 12 seconds.

Those who come to the EU illegally “do not respect our laws and do not want to share common cultural values,” the website says.

“If we do not act, we will not recognize Europe in a few decades.”

The Hungarian government has long rejected a mandatory quota for the resettlement of migrants and refugees. To tackle the crisis, it argues the EU should secure its external borders.

In September 2015, in an attempt to prevent migrants from illegally crossing into Hungary, the government decided to erect a fence on the border with Serbia. It also introduced tough punishments of up to three years in prison for those abusing the border crossing or damaging the barrier.

However, the four-meter-high, razor-wire fence hasn’t stopped thousands of illegal migrants from forcing their way into the country.

In 2015, over one million asylum seekers arrived in Europe, according to data from the International Organization for Migration. Most came from Syria, where a civil war has claimed the lives of 250,000 people and displaced 12 million others since 2011, UN figures show. The asylum seekers also come from Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Eritrea, Mali and other countries.

Turkey builds first migrant centers, as Germany braces for new arrivals under EU-Ankara deal

© Marko Djurica / Reuters

The tentative EU refugee-exchange deal with Turkey is soon to take effect, as the Germans are set to take in their first refugees and the Turkish race to build emergency accommodation for the thousands about to be sent back from struggling Greece.

Once the procedure starts on Monday, Germany will expect new Syrian families with children numbering in the “double-digit range,” German Interior Ministry spokesman Tobias Plate told reporters on Friday.

The agreement has faced both criticism at home in Germany and an overall mistrust from the international community that Turkey could be considered a ‘safe third country’ for refugees to return to, stemming primarily from the country’s human rights record and treatment of minority ethnic groups.

Turkey forcibly returned thousands of Syrian refugees to war zone – Amnesty

Under the proposition agreed last month, the EU will legally settle one Syrian in return for each migrant the over-strained Greece sends back to Turkey. All illegal migrants who have come to the Greek islands since March 20 will be sent back, although cases will also be considered individually.

In return Turkey is to get billions of euros in aid and political concessions from the EU.

Turkey is currently working on two centers for processing refugees, local officials said on Saturday. One is being constructed in the Aegean tourist resort of Cesme in Izmir province, which faces the troubled Greek island of Chios. The work includes laying hundreds of meters of cable, as well as installing fingerprinting and registration facilities and medical ones. The centers are only a stopover point on the way to actual refugee center.

"Once the health checks and registration is done for the migrants, they will be sent on to camps," Cesme Mayor Muhittin Dalgic told Turkish media, as cited by AFP. “We intend to complete this work with them staying for as short a time as possible.”

A re-admission center is also being constructed in Dikili, which faces the Greek island of Lesbos, and a new refugee center will be opened by the Turkish Red Crescent in Manisa – the first facility in the south of the country.

Meanwhile dozens of protesters gathered on Ataturk Square in Dikili on Saturday to express their opposition to the planned building of the refugee camp.

Places like Greece are experiencing the hardest fallout. Violence recently broke out in a Greek camp that has taken on one of the central roles in the crisis. Three migrants were hospitalized in a fight on Friday at a camp on the island of Chios, aid groups reported. This was the second time in two days. Violence was so rough that volunteer workers and organizations were pulling their staff out amid concerns for their safety.

Frustration is simmering among the refugees and migrants who don’t know where they will be sent. In line with earlier fears voiced by EU politicians, Greek migrant centers have begun to resemble detention facilities, with Greece tightening the grip on people’s freedom of movement until they are sent back to Turkey.

Turkey is to receive its first batch of migrants from Greece on Monday. Both countries are receiving criticism for their lack of preparedness.

The chaos in the Greek camps happened at the same time as Amnesty International was condemning Ankara for sending back hundreds of refugees to war-torn Syria – something the NGO said represented “the fatal flaws” inherent in the deal struck with the EU.

The plan appears to be going according to earlier predictions: not only are refugee rights being violated, but migration routes are also splitting up, with many illegal streams of people attempting to get back to the EU with the aid of smugglers.

Turkey, which has taken in 2.7 million Syrians since 2011, has always sharply denied repatriating them illegally. However, Ankara is yet to comment on the latest accusations from Amnesty.

Over 51,000 continue to be stranded in Greece. More than a million arrived from Turkey last year. As Athens struggles under the sheer weight, hundreds have been drowning in the Aegean Sea on the way from Turkey.

Outraged Greek farmer plows tractor through refugee camp

https://www.rt.com/news/338155-greek-farmer-plows-tractor/

A Greek farmer, who has had enough of refugees tenting on his land near the Idomeni border crossing with Macedonia, plowed through the campsite on his tractor, destroying tents and scaring the inhabitants.

Several police officers were called on site on Thursday in order to persuade farmer, Lazaros Oulis, to stop plowing and abandon the vehicle.

Oulis explained his harsh actions with the need to produce food for his cows, the Greek media reported.

“I need to plow my field. Not somebody else's field – mine! I have a business with 70-80 calves. I want to produce, feed them, because, financially, I can't take this anymore,” he explained.

The farmer said that he had “no problem at all” with the refugees and understood how difficult things were for them, but stressed that he had obligations of his own.

One of the refugees, whose tent was destroyed, called Oulis “a crazy man,” telling RT’s Ruply video agency that his children and him now have no place to sleep.

However, his fellow migrant Reshal Hamdo of Syria said that he understood the farmer’s feelings.

“He is right. I say that he is right because it's his land. We don't know what we will do, this is not our country. It's not our land,” Hamdo said.

Some refugees said that Oulis started plowing the camp after a canteen he had set up on the site stopped bringing profit due to being outdone by eateries with lower prices.

On Saturday, residents of the Idomeni village blocked a road leading to the refugee camp to denounce its continued existence.

The rise in protest moods among the Greek population in the Idomeni area, which is mainly involved in agriculture, is explained by the fact that “cultivation season has started,” Xanthoula Soupli, the president of the local community, said.

“People have lost their daily lives, they are locked in their houses all the time, they cannot walk around Idomeni’s central square” because of the migrants, she stressed.

“Of course, we supported them from the beginning. We opened our houses. We were next to them, but it is impossible for a village of 100 to deal with 14,000 refugees and migrants," Soupli added.

Greece on brink of chaos as refugees riot over forced return to Turkey

Rival ethnic groups clash in Piraeus and 800 break out of detention centre on Chios as EU deal brings desperation

The Greek government is bracing itself for violence ahead of the European Union implementing a landmark deal that, from Monday, will see Syrian refugees and migrants being deported back to Turkey en masse.

Rioting and rebellion by thousands of entrapped refugees across Greece has triggered mounting fears in Athens over the practicality of enforcing an agreement already marred by growing concerns over its legality. Islands have become flashpoints, with as many as 800 people breaking out of a detention centre on Chios on Friday.

“We are expecting violence. People in despair tend to be violent,” the leftist-led government’s migration spokesman, Giorgos Kyritsis, told the Observer. “The whole philosophy of the deal is to deter human trafficking [into Europe] from the Turkish coast, but it is going to be difficult and we are trying to use a soft approach. These are people have fled war. They are not criminals.”

Barely 24 hours ahead of the pact coming into force, it emerged that Frontex, the EU border agency, had not dispatched the appropriate personnel to oversee the operation. Eight Frontex boats will transport men, women and children, who are detained on Greek islands and have been selected for deportation, back across the Aegean following fast-track asylum hearings. But of the 2,300 officials the EU has promised to send Greece only 200 have so far arrived, Kyritsis admitted.

“We are still waiting for the legal experts and translators they said they would send,” he added. “Even Frontex personnel haven’t got here yet.” Humanitarian aid also earmarked for Greece had similarly been held up, with the result that the bankrupt country was managing the crisis – and continued refugee flows – on very limited funds from the state budget.

On Saturday overstretched resources were evident in the chaos on Chios where detainees, fearing imminent deportation, had not only run amok, breaking through razorwire enclosing a holding centre on the island, but in despair had marched on the town’s port. In the stampede three refugees were stabbed as riot police tried to control the crowds with stun guns and teargas. The camp, a former recycling factory, had been ransacked, with cabins and even fingerprint equipment smashed.

“This is what happens when you have 30 policemen guarding 1,600 refugees determined to get out,” said Benjamin Julian, an Icelandic volunteer speaking from the island. “I witnessed it all and I know that all the time they were chanting ‘freedom, freedom, freedom’ and ‘no Torkia, no Torkia’. That is what they want and are determined to get.”

In the mayhem that had ensued, panic-stricken local authorities had been forced to divert the daily ferry connecting the island with the mainland for fear it would be stormed.

Similar outbreaks of violence had also occurred in Piraeus, Athens’ port city, where eight young men had been taken to hospital after riots erupted between rival ethnic groups on Wednesday.

With tensions on the rise in Lesbos, the Aegean island that has borne the brunt of the flows, and in Idomeni on the Greek-Macedonia frontier where around 11,000 have massed since the border’s closure, NGOs warned of a timebomb in the making. Hopes of numbers decreasing following the announcement of the EU-Turkey deal have been dispelled by a renewed surge in arrivals with the onset of spring.

Official figures showed that 52,147 refugees and migrants were stranded in the country at the weekend, with 6,129 registered on Aegean islands that had been almost completely evacuated after the accord was reached on 20 March.. Last year, more than 1.1 million irregular migrants streamed into Europe with over 850,000 pouring into the continent through Greece.

Pleas from Athens to fellow EU member states to reopen the Balkan route have fallen on deaf ears.

A rant on the refugee crisis

Yesterday I had a discussion with a friend who expressed outrage at the 'fascist' Hungarians who should be 'kicked out of the EU".

That occasioned a bit of a rant on my side in which I couldn't find the word I was searching for.

Here is my response:

The word I was looking for, but couldn't find was PREDICAMENT which describes a situation (unlike a crisis) that has no solution. Actions, criminal actions have taken place and now we just have to wait for the results, the blowback, to play itself out.

I find it difficult to accept a situation where the finger is pointed at the likes of Hungary (as it is with Greece which is pilloried while fascist Ukraine is congratulated by Legarde), for taking action to protect itself from a situation which it has, like the smaller countries, done nothing (unlike Britain, Germany and France) to create.

The same people who are being so "humanitarian"by accepting refugees are EXACTLY the same people who in the same breath are baying for war against Assad and refusing to join a coalition of forces that have a REAL motivation (as opposed to a feigned one, like Washington) to fight and destroy the Islamic state.

The very same people who say "Assad must go" ignore and whitewash crimes by the Saudis, the Gulf states and the Turks. Some countries even finance sheep farms in the desert for countries that condemn a 17-year old to death by crucifixion for taking part in protests.

Saudi Arabia has sentenced teenager to “death by crucifixion” for protesting against the ruling family. Western media and leadership silent

I haven't seen the BBC or the Guardian exhibit even a flicker of outrage over that.

Here is an excert of a report from Hungary in Russian. I do not have the time to translate so I have excerpted some of the most relevant parts as well as post the original Russian

First look at this video footage. Where do you see downtrodden, family groups escaping from persecution? These are fit young men and clearly not the same as those who have survived a dangerous sea voyage from Turkey

Original taken from kniga_bukv in the news from Budapest

In Budapest there was suddenly a crowd of people claiming that they are refugees from the war as they crossed the the border with Serbia.  it is unclear how they did this -  simultaneously, virtually in a single day. It was all in one place

The crowd settled into the underground pass of the  East station and started to make demands, left, right and centre.

Despite the fact that since November last year the number of migrants and transit and asylum seekers has increased the Hungarian authorities were in no way ready for such a turn of events. 

In addition ordinary migrants and refugees are quietly seeking peaceful asylum and here in front of police barriers stood a dense crowd of strong men at the age from 20 to 40 years, organized and cohesive, chanting slogans under the guidance of their organizers

Of course this action attracted journalists like flies to shit - especially from the Russian media who rushed in photograph it all

riot at the train station Keleti!
news from the Eastern front! (Keleti is East)
migrants are not allowed!
migrants do not help!
poor poor people!
they are refugees from war, they need help!

99% of the crowd are fit young men without wives, children and parents . This can be clearly seen on the video footage of the march of migrants from Budapest to Austria as distinct from the PR campaign seen on the video footage. Women and children are seperated from the men and almost none of the men go to the aid of the women and children.

This is what the Hungarians write about this march:

Én örülök azert, hogy ilyen emberek nem akarnak nálunk letelepedni húzzanak a picsába. Mocskos primitív banda.. Részvétem a Zsámbékiaknak a körülmények miatt ..

I'm glad these people didn't want us [in Hungary] to stay, dammit! Dirty primitive gang. I'm sorry our Zsámbék [reserve, the edge of which were migrants] caught them on their way.

BREAKING: Hungary seizes train from Croatia

Hungary seizes train carrying 1,000 asylum seekers escorted by 40 Croatian police

RT,

18 September, 2015

Hungary has intercepted a train carrying some 1,000 asylum seekers from Croatia, accompanied by around 40 police officers. The officers were sent back, while the people onboard the train were reportedly transferred to a reception camp.

The train carrying up to 1,000 refugees was accompanied by some 40 Croatian police officers, who were reportedly detained and then sent back. Croatian police however refuted initial reports that officers accompanying the train were detained or disarmed, explaining that 36 officers “returned” to Croatia in the evening.

“There was no disarming or arrests. It is not true,” Croatian police spokeswoman Jelena Bikic told Reuters, claiming that there was “an agreement about the escort between the police officers from the two sides in advance.”

— Balazs Csekö (@balazscseko) September 18, 2015

Hungarian authorities said that the incident happened due to Croatia’s failure to coordinate train’s border crossing. According to the head of the Hungarian disaster unit, Gyorgy Bakondi, the Croatian train arrived at Magyarboly without any prior notice, bringing the number of unannounced arrivals to over 4,000 on Friday alone.

Croatia’s FM Vesna Pusic claimed that the two countries had agreed “to provide a corridor” for refugees, Sky News reported. However Hungarian spokesman Zoltan Kovacs rejected the claim as a “lie.”

After Hungary blocked off their border with Serbia this week with the aid of a metal fence and riot police, migrants flooded neighboring Croatia in search for an alternative route. More than 17,000 have arrived in the country since Wednesday morning.

“We cannot register and accommodate these people any longer,” Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic told a news conference. “They will get food, water and medical help, and then they can move on. The European Union must know that Croatia will not become a migrant ‘hotspot’. We have hearts, but we also have heads.”

Meanwhile European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker offered Croatia logistical and technical assistance to cope with the migrant flow during a conversation with Milanovic.

“Both stressed the need to enhance the protection of the EU's external border, to step up EU assistance in our immediate neighborhood and to make swift progress on operational solidarity between the EU Member States to cope with the refugee crisis,” Juncker's office said.

The BBC version if you want it -  they call them 'migrants'!!

Migrant crisis: Neighbours squabble after Croatia U-turn

Waves of migrants seeking to enter the EU from the south-east have been shunted from one border to another as governments disagree over the crisis.

Croatia reversed its open-door policy after 17,000 arrivals since Wednesday. It is now sending thousands of migrants north, angering Slovenia and Hungary.

Hungary, which is putting a fence on its border with Croatia, is reportedly sending new arrivals on to Austria.
