Hungary Summons French Ambassador over Border Fence Remarks
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Hungary’s foreign minister will meet the French ambassador later on Monday after the French foreign minister’s criticism of Hungary’s anti-refugee fence.
Laurent Fabius said Hungary did not “respect the common values of Europe” by erecting barriers at its border.
The meeting was scheduled to begin as more than 2,500 refugees and migrants on board a ship from the Greek island of Lesbos arrived in Piraeus port near Athens, Euronews reported Monday.
Meanwhile, several people broke free from a Hungarian refugee camp near the Serbian border over the weekend. Police detained three of them.
In all, since January, 140,000 people, including a large number of Syrians, Iraqis or Afghans fleeing war, crossed the border.
