Why? Why?'Įuropean Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker will unveil a plan on Wednesday for EU states to take 120,000 refugees from overstretched Italy, Greece and Hungary. We're asking to go to Budapest and they are not giving us this right. 'We're asking to go back to Serbia and they are not giving us this right.

One Syrian, who gave his first name as Ali, said: 'We've been here for two days and the Hungarian government only brings one bus? Some refugees, who slept outdoors in a field overnight so they could wait for a train this afternoon, said conditions were so bad they wanted to return across the border to Serbia. Last Friday, among a raft of anti-migrant laws approved, Hungary's parliament voted to criminalise illegal border crossing, with the ruling expected to come into force on September 15. Hungary has made frantic and confused efforts to control the huge tide of migrants transiting the country, with many refugees becoming trapped for days outside the border.Īround 167,000 migrants have entered Hungary illegally so far this year, with most crossing the border around the Roszke area. Police were seen following the migrants, who are hoping to reach other countries who are welcoming them in western Europe, and many officers did not attempt to stop them. Pictures showed some carrying small children as they ran through fields and began following train tracks towards the town of Szeged in a desperate bid to move on.

The man Laszlo tripped was one of several hundred migrants who fled after being angered at the treatment by Hungarian police. Usman Ali Khan added: 'Such pathetic behaviour of a #Hungarian camerawoman deliberately tripping a refugee carrying a child.'Īnd Tim Marshall, a foreign affairs analyst, said: 'From the angle where Hungarian 'camerawoman' kicks the child I don't think the benefit of doubt applies. This time, it deserves every ounce of condemnation.' Outraged social media users took to Twitter and set a Facebook group called The Petra Laszlo Wall Of Shame to condemn her actions, labelling her 'pathetic' and 'disgraceful'.ĭavie McLaughlin wrote: 'It would appear that a Hungarian camerawoman has become this month's American dentist.

Opposition parties Együtt-PM and the Democratic Coalition also said they will seek to initiate charges of violence against a member of the community, which carries a sentence of up to five years in prison, against Laszlo. Shameful: Laszlo, who attacked both the little girl and tripped up a father carrying his child, is now facing a criminal investigation into her actions, and she has been sacked from her job
