Germany Faces "National Disaster" Over Refugee Crisis As Hungary Slams Shut Border With Croatia
“Border control officers are exposed to strong migratory pressures.”
That’s a quote from Georgi Kostov, the head of the interior ministry for Bulgaria where an Afghan man was shot and killed on Thursday, marking the first fatal shooting in Europe’s worsening migrant crisis.
Bulgarian border guards claim a warning shot ricocheted and injured the man. He later died. Draw your own conclusions.
The official line from Bulgaria was this: “We are deeply shocked and regret the fatal incident. We are convinced that barriers, fences and police forces cannot solve the problems of people who are in a desperate situation.”
That’s a nice sentiment, but not everyone shares it and one person who is certainly not intent on adopting an open door policy to refugees fleeing the war-torn Middle East is Hungarian PM Viktor Orban who, as we’ve documented extensively, has gone to great lengths to close his country’s borders with razor wire fencing and protect those fences with water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets.
Here’s a quote from an interview Orban gave today which pretty much sums things up as far as he’s concerned:
“Spiritually, Islam was never part of Europe. It's the rulebook of another world.”
Make no mistake, the back and forth Balkan border battles between the states that are on the frontlines of the crisis have been raging for months, as Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia attempt to negotiate how to cope with Hungary's hardline approach. Orban's move to wall-off his country's border with Serbia triggered an influx of asylum seekers into Croatia (remember, everyone's trying to get to Germany), but Slovenia's unwillingness to serve as a kind of migrant superhighway steered refugees right back into Hungary and so now, Orban is closing the border with Croatia. Here's how we put it late last month:
Once it became clear that Hungary was fully prepared to turn its border with Serbia into a warm April night in Baltimore in order to defend Europe’s “Christian heritage” (to quote Orban), refugees simply rerouted through Croatia. Serbia has facilitated this noting that it simply does not have the resources to accommodate the migrants and even if it did, they do not want to settle in Serbia in the first place. Once Slovenia said it wouldn’t be a part of a migrant "corridor" to Germany, the stage was set for migrants to zigzag from Hungary’s border with Serbia into Croatia, and then back into Hungary.
And here's more from Bloomberg on Orban's reaction after the EU failed to come to an agreement on closing off Greece to asylum seekers:
Hungary will seal its border with Croatia from midnight on Friday, expanding one of the European Union’s toughest set of measures to stem the influx of refugees, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Budapest.
"This is the second-best option," Szijjarto told reporters. "The best option, setting up an EU force to defend Greece’s external borders, was rejected in Brussels yesterday."
An EU summit on Thursday failed to reach a final agreement on recruiting Turkey to help control the flow of refugees as Russia’s bombing campaign in Syria threatens to push more people to seek safety. The bloc’s leaders also made little progress on how to redesign the system of distributing immigrants, forming an EU border-guard corps or on ensuring arrivals are properly processed.
Hungary has extended an existing barbed-wire fence on its border with Serbia to cover its frontier with Croatia. Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned this week that his government would complete the barrier if EU leaders fail to agree on closing the Greek border, the main entry point for Syrian and other Middle Eastern refugees into the 28-nation bloc.
Meanwhile, in Germany, Angela Merkel is beginning to feel the heat as lawmakers and party loyalists become increasingly impatient with the hundreds of thousands of migrants streaming into the country. More, from AFP:
Germany's Angela Merkel is used to owning the room when she speaks to her party faithful, but the mood turned hostile when she defended her open-door refugee policy this week.
In a heated atmosphere, some of the 1,000-odd members at the meeting warned of a "national disaster" and demanded shuttering the borders as Germany expects up to one million migrants this year.
"Stop the refugee chaos -- save German culture + values -- dethrone Merkel," read a banner at the congress late Wednesday in the eastern state of Saxony, the home base for the anti-foreigner PEGIDA movement.
Managing the refugee crisis has turned into Merkel's greatest domestic political challenge since she took power almost 10 years ago, in November 2005.
Long valued by the electorate for her level-headed leadership amid the eurozone turmoil, Merkel has scared many with her welcoming stance amid a growing sentiment that the boat is full.
"The chancellor is walking on thin ice," judged the conservative daily Die Welt, pointing to a "growing gap" between Merkel and the base of her centre-right Christian Democrats (CDU) who demand she stem the record influx.
"The chancellor believes the nation can manage the crisis, but this belief is rapidly vanishing in the country," said the newspaper.
On Sunday, she jets off to Turkey to discuss with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan how to slow the inflow sparked by war and upheaval across the Middle East and North Africa, with almost 600,000 people arriving in Europe so far this year.
On the home front, Merkel has bravely insisted "we can do it", recalling US President Barack Obama's campaign rallying cry of "Yes we can".
But many Germans -- who in the summer greeted refugees at railway stations -- are losing faith as thousands keep coming daily and improvised refugee centres are bursting at the seams, including tent cities exposed to below-zero temperatures as winter approaches.
And here are two headlines which betray how desperate the situation is becoming:
- SHOULD GERMANY, SLOVENIA CLOSE BORDERS, CROATIA WILL TOO: PUSIC
- MERKEL CALLS ON EASTERN EUROPE TO SHOW SOLIDARITY OF REFUGEES
In short, there is now a very real threat that a cascading series of border closures will completely block the Balkan route (not to mention destroy Schengen forever) leading directly to i) possibly violent confrontations between migrants and border police, and ii) a dramatic shift in the people flow through Libya, which would mark a kind of "out of the frying pan and into the fire" scenario for Syrian refugees.
As for those who have already made it to Germany and other EU countries where they intend to settle, we reiterate our warning that anti-migrant sentiment could end up creating a dangerous bout of scapegoating xenophobia and on that note, we close with the following excerpt from Bloomberg:
In another sign of backlash in the region, Czech President Milos Zeman said migrants from Muslim countries won’t respect local laws and will follow sharia, Novinky.cz news website reported.
“Adulterous women will be stoned; thieves will have their hands chopped off,” Zeman said while meeting employees of a butcher shop in eastern Czech Republic, Novinky said.

Paul Lyin' said that, did he?
The UN's end game agenda is now in full flow!

So they wanted a trans-Syrian gas pipeline from Qatar), and they got Syrian refugees.
CNN, CNBC, FOX News narrative Islam is peaceful, loving, tolerant.... Non stop Putin and Russia bashing-- Putin is a demon & Russia is aggressive, assertive and evil....only the failed US plan for Syria is right....
Good!
And no one should harm our "allies" in Syria.
No one knows why we have "allies" in Syria but never mind that tiny detail.
They are destroying all. Stock up, if you can.
" we reiterate our warning that anti-migrant sentiment could end up creating a dangerous bout of scapegoating xenophobia"
(1) It ceases to be a "phobia", which is an irrational fear, when they actually invade your country, and
(2) How is it "scapegoating" to blame the ones who are demonstrably the problem?
"Each of you go to his own city."
And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison, and will go forth and deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, and will gather them together for the battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city.
In the biggest migrant center in Germany rape and forced prostitution of women are a regular occurrences. There are violent clashes almost on a daily basis in many centers. There are incidents where christian migrants are intimidated and dominated by the islam crowd. In other centers they complain about everything, nothing is good enough for them. Everywhere people start to complain about centers popping up in their neighborhood. Migrants get preferential treatment over autochtonous people when it comes to housing and to employment.
This is only just beginning.
But Merkel wants moar!
That's a long walk from Athens to Hamburg.
I feel now I am lucky to be half German and half Australian and can leave any time.
It is 11 PM and I went for a walk around the block. All peaceful here in Germany, however, I live way out in the country, as they say here, where fox and hare say good night to each other.
Half an hour from here which ever direction you go it is not so easy. As he said in the article refugee camps are bursting at the seams, that is correct, and now everything that has a roof on top should expect to be confiscated.
The government is sending "living space searchers" - quite a new job description I never heard of before - to find houses or flats that show signs of not being occupied. People don't like it when some government officials walk along the street and has a close look at their house ...
My personal expectations or plans or future vision changes more and more.
In July I considered buying a house I found suitable.
In August I stopped following that plan, thinking, WTF is going on here.
In september I stopped making firewood which needs two years drying, thinking, will I still use that firewood here?
In October I stopped doing garden work that would turn out useful only next year.
Watching myself changing my priorities, strange feeling, friends, ...
To be honest, Germany, or Western Europe will not get back to what it was 6 months ago. And it was beautiful, and the living was easy.
It will get worse and worse, no mercy, Merkel or somebody else, no one will stop it.
I share your sentiments 100%. This year will mark the turning point.
Sorry to hear this Gunter. I was run out of California some years ago due to limitless immigration and liberals.
I know what you're going through. Get out of there while you can!
The whole thing is sickening. People around the world are generally good people. The evil politicians and elites have to make everyone life misery.
Germany, Austria and other neighboring countries were lik ethis beautful havens but they are being destroyed. It seems like the Czech Republic along with Hungary are the only sane countries.
The Czech Republic's approach to immigration is - forget it, don't even think about it. I think 1,000 people or less are allowed in.
Budapest is one of those rare cities where you can walk around at night and have little to worry about. I don't blame them one bit for trying to keep it that way.
And in turn, my friend in Colorado is being run out by liberals who fled to Colorado because California was so bad. And then, after the fleeing liberals arrive, they vote for the same liberal assholes who are rapidly making it just like California.
Once they arrive there is no way to make them depart, and each one has a dozen "family members" that they will sponser once they settle in. Europe has found this out far too late. How can you allow your "leaders" to erase your civilization? Even if you knew the answer it's too late. You may as well re-name all of Europe "Swedistan". No racism here-just the reality of previous experience. Tragic. So tragic.
There is a way to make them depart, there just is not a will to do it.
You establish a deadline for everyone of them to be gone by a certain date. If they are not gone by that date they go into a medieval style prison for 3 months. No heat, bread and water for food and maybe some crappy vegetable every few days.
Upon release they have a month to leave,.
Six months after the original deadline you execute anyone remaining.
It's reversible.
As Marcus Aurelius said, "To all those to whom you are a beast and an ape, you can in 10 days seem like an angel if you will but return to your principles and the worship of reason."
The more truth you get by seeking out alternative sources, and avoiding the propaganda, the worse the picture gets painted. The only consolation is you are always better off with the truth. How can Germany, which is the backbone of the EU, survive when it is so infiltrated with people so unlike the native population, and which has no desire to assimilate? That you are already changing your future plans due to this fact, virtually mandates that many others like yourself are doing the same, even if they don't have another country to flee to. I wish you the best of luck. And your countrymen as well.
Shoot them or submit to Sharia Law = Europe
Shoot them or learn Spanish = USA
Patriotism and cultural identity have no place in the NWO.
Sorry Europe, but you may be fucked. (I say "may be" because I am an optimistic pessimist). As a precaution, teach your kids Russian, brush up on the Russian immigration laws, and hope that the future Russian state controls its borders better than Europe.
The lessons of history show that if this type of non-assimilatory immigration is unopposed (whether historically the immigrants/colonizers be British, French, Spanish, Dutch, whatever) in the long term the indigenous peoples lose out - well, for a few centuries at least. Maybe it's karma?
Yup. In the end it's all about the numbers.
Send them back.
Send them back to fight their own wars and defend their own turf. The sooner the better.
The current human flood of illiterate, culturally-incompatible muslims, will reduce social cohesion, and create unessecary problems into the future. This is a no-brainer. The secondary effects are anybodies game. What on Earth possessed Merkel to attempt a form of cultural sucide, and jeapordize the national security of Germany, is beyond my understanding. To me, she is making disastrous decisions, not seen since Adolf Hitler.
Worse than Hitler.
Hitler did not seem to hate Germany just lots of other people.
congrats............u understand history exactly the way the International Banksters want u 2.............
Whereas you get your understanding from what you read on the Internet.
She accepted some kind of Coudenhoven-Kalergi award. There's yoar answer.
I'm sure that all of these refugees would be welcome in Israel, right? Why aren't they going to Israel?
Uh, because Jews are smart and not interested in self-immolation?
They should be so lucky to have a generation that would roll up their sleeves and save their nation.
Someone is laughing somewhere in Athens.
None of this is an accident.
A dozen PhDs have been issued just on the refugees created by the Iraq War - and that was a country we "controlled" for 10 years.
Now you have this main circuit cable running from Syria (ISIS "controlled" territory) in the north through Turkey and their frontier - nonstop to Greece and the Balkans only to mysteriously and unforeseenly appear in Vienna and Berlin?
Please.
You could not do ANY of this without full-tilt boogie NATO logistical support and contracted ships and trains running 24/7.
By year's end Obama the savior will be settling 2 million "moderate and vetted" Muslims into all these depressed towns throughout the USA - a final "fuck you" to America - a time bomb for importing domestic terrorists.
Remember this is a result of Hillary Clinton's Foreign Policy too!
There is a detail no MSM seems to report: Within the group of 50 (mostly afghanis) men that tried to illegally cross the Bulgarian border, there were some that were armed... draw your own conclusions...
Border patrol is supposed to protect the border. That does mean shooting invaders.
This fucking world has gone insane.
The eu's fretting over whether to create a frontier guard force.
They must not know that European nations have over 3.5 million active and reserve military.
Give all those garbage Volkswagens to the millions of Syrians heading for Germany.

Syrian refugees? Only 10% speak the Syrian language! The EU is an insane asylum, Merkel included.
Greece: If you need an even more compelling reason to abandon and escape the EU and euro... you have one now!
Long paprika.
"Czech President Milos Zeman: "[...] migrants from Muslim countries won’t respect local laws and will follow sharia"
Viktor Orban: "Spiritually, Islam was never part of Europe. It's the rulebook of another world."
All true. Indians/Pakistanis in Britain for years still commit honour killings and the police rarely get to the bottom of them.
As other people on ZH have said, the huge inflow of Moslems into Europe this year is not so much a refugee crises but an invasion. Once they get their feet under the table, they will introduce and practice Sharia law. Law enforcement agencies will be unable to stop it for fear of riots as Moslem birth rates increase. In less than two generations, Europe will be dominated by Islam with mosques springing up all over the place.
Yes, but then the U.S. will destroy Europe again as the Islamic Union of Europa does something to piss us off and we send in armies of killer robots to wipe the Mudslimes out.
" a dangerous bout of scapegoating xenophobia" is just what they need. at the minimum.
ROFL
