Hungary: A new iron curtain? | Focus on Europe

A quarter century ago, Hungary was the first Eastern European country to open the Iron Curtain. Now the current right-wing nationalist government is building a new, four-meter high fence along the Serbian border to keep out migrants.

Stay strong Hungary. Kick them all out!

[bboucharde]

Hungary = Great people, language, and culture----and Hungarians have the right to exercise their national sovereignty by protecting their borders.

[jimmypaul]

On a side note, Hungary looks absolutely beautiful.

Why doesn't Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE take in their muslim brothers and sisters.

[shadyshyguy]

People who compares that fence to the iron curtain clearly don't know what the iron curtain was....

[PS]

support for Hungarians from Serbia, if only we had the same government.. we need a fence on Macedonian border!!

[javamann]

Good for Hungary!
There's nothing wrong in protecting one's own culture and country: that is the Primary Duty of a government!

[isabelle]

Well done Hungary!
Wish they would do this all over Europe.

[peggyb]

[sahaiel]

LONG LIFE TO HUNGARY, THE DEFENSE OF EUROPE.

DW propaganda at full steam!
It's not an iron curtain. Hungary is simply protecting it's soverign territory from illegal invaders. International law gives them every right to do so.

[Faunio]

They don't want to use the enter points for a reason.... for the same reason that they tear apart passport right at the border....

[blitherbox]

The iron curtain was there to keep the soviet union in darkness. The wall in Hungary will help keep the darkness out.

[balazsmarton]

The people who running for their life will find the way through the people who feel their life and culture and their heritage endangered by uninvited and greedy, complaining and agressivly pushy invaders, will find the way to fight back as hard as necessary Hahahaha

[javamann]

'to escape war and poverty at home'!
How much did each of these mainly young men of military age, pay to get where they are now?
Why do they not use any money to start businesses and fight for their country?

[jabronis]

In other words, the Afghan is saying no matter what you do, well keep coming. If fences don't work, what's after that won't be good

[well]

The Iron Curtain? News flash the Iron Curtain was to keep people in not out. Get a grip.

[peterscotney]
