PM’s Security Chief: Big Rise in Number of Border Arrests of Illegal Migrants
MTI-Hungary Today 2021.09.15
This year has seen a big rise in the number of border violators caught by the authorities, with an increasing number of Afghan citizens among them and intensifying activity on the part of human smugglers, György Bakondi, the prime minister’s domestic security chief, told a press conference at the Röszke border station, in southern Hungary, on Wednesday.
By mid-September this year 73,617 arrests were made as against 21,992 in the same period last year, he said, adding that 719 human smugglers have been prosecuted this year, up from 274 last year.
Zoltán Kovács, state secretary for international communications and relations, noted that six years ago hundreds of migrants attempted to break through the border while hurling rocks at police.
Because attempts were being made in the European Union to continue managing migration instead of stopping it, he added, external pressure on borders was now as great as it had been then.
Bakondi said politicians all over Europe were saying the events of 2015 must not be repeated.
