Hungary is new hot spot on migrant route into EU
By Pablo Gorondi
ASOTTHALOM, Hungary (AP) — With
the Mediterranean Sea becoming too treacherous and other routes blocked
by barbed-wire fences, would-be migrants are taking a new route into the
Europe Union: through Hungary. Coming from as
far away as Afghanistan and Syria and as near as Kosovo and Albania,
thousands of migrants a week are crossing into Hungary and requesting
asylum, turning the country into an EU transit hot spot.
