Warning shots fired as migrants rush Serbia’s border with Hungary
HORGOS, Serbia (Reuters) – A Hungarian security officer fired three warning shots early on Tuesday after about 60 migrants tried to force their way through a checkpoint on the border with Serbia, and Serbian police said later they had arrested 37 people for trying to cross the frontier illegally.
No one was wounded in the incident, which took place at the Roszke/Horgos border crossing, Hungarian police spokeswoman Szilvia Szabo said.
Hungarian police said the group tried to enter the European Union member state at the crossing at about 0430 GMT, prompting the security officer on site to fire the warning shots.
There are thousands of migrants stuck in Serbia, with more than 6,000 migrants living in government-operated camps.
On Tuesday, in the village of Horgos, on the Serbian side of the border crossing, a group of about two dozen migrants from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Morocco said they were beaten up by Hungarian police and sent back to Serbia.

The crossing was the scene of a large-scale riot at the peak of Europe’s migrant crisis in 2015, when police clashed with hundreds trying to break through the frontier into the EU.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban subsequently ordered a steel fence erected along Hungary’s border, curbing arrivals.
But migrant traffic started increasing again late last year and there are currently several hundred attempted illegal crossings per week.
See all of my ‘Invasion of Europe’ posts going back nearly ten years. Orban came under political fire for referring to the “great replacement” at a conference in Hungarylast fall.
The use of the politically verboten words “invasion” and “great replacement” brought a legal judgement against a French author here, just last week.

People do not have a right to enter another country by force or illegally. I wish Americans would defend their border with Mexico as aggressively as did this Hungarian guard.
If only our country to could operate for the safety of its citizens like Hungary’s president does. He just put up a fence with a slight electric charge. Done.
This is why, even IF (and I say ‘IF’) Europe fell, Eastern Europeans would fight the hardest and longest. I just can’t see Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, Serbs, Bulgarians, Romanians, etc, just rolling over and putting up with ‘no go’ zones or anti-white agendas or whatever toxic “progressive”agenda that’s pushed.
