Since 9\/11 and the terror attacks committed by Islamic extremists on European soil, the West looks at the Muslim minority with suspicion and fear. After the Charlie Hebdo terror attack both France and Great Britain decided to introduce stricter immigration laws.

Many experts are afraid that Europe does not have a good solution to the problem of integration. There has been controversial steps from European nations like the ban on burka in France, the ban on building new mosques in Switzerland, many believed these harmed the rights of the Muslim people.

This creates the sensation of parallel societies where a different world exists within a modern society.

Many countries introduced Muslim councils, which represent the interests of the religious communities. The Sharia law is something that sparked many debates. In order to allow religious freedom countries like Sweden, England, and France allowed fundamentalist Muslims to practice the Sharia. However finding accommodation between religious law and secular law is very difficult. The biggest problem is posed by family laws. The cruel \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/node\/17249634\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Eretribution laws cannot be practiced\u003C\/a\u003E in Western countries, if they are carried out they simply count as murder.\u0026nbsp;However, when it comes to family issues like divorce, religious councils may overrule what the secular court decided. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\nFailure of integration: ISIS\u003C\/h3\u003E\nNothing shows the failure of integration better than the huge number of European born ISIS recruits. Most of them are third generation immigrants. Many of them are young and unemployed with no college degree. According to a UN working group ISIS pays families $10,000 for each new recruit. This can be a motivation for young people to join the terrorist group. According to a Pew Research, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.pewglobal.org\/files\/2011\/07\/Pew-Global-Attitudes-Muslim-Western-Relations-FINAL-FOR-PRINT-July-21-2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Emany of the Muslims find the European population immoral and selfish\u003C\/a\u003E. They feel isolated and sometimes revolted by western societies. They see a purpose in Radical Islam, a life goal, and many of them are easily radicalized due to the lack of education and the easy access to the terrorist sites. The number of recruits keeps growing. The greatest number come from France and Belgium. This sensation poses as the biggest threat to European security. It seems now that France will introduce laws to detain French citizens returning from Syria and Iraq. But sadly for the hundreds who were killed or injured in the 11\/13 attacks these policies come too late.

Immediate housing is almost impossible; most of them have to live in camps. Most of the migrants don’t speak the language of the receiving country, which makes it difficult for them to find a job.

However, the question is not only if Europe will be able to integrate but if it is possible at all to integrate a culture into a completely different one? Europe believes in equality for all. Islam does not recognize equality, a man is superior to a woman, the Islamic faith is superior to other religions, and a Muslim is superior to an Infidel. Can we accept that they will never accept the fundamental rights we believe in and that are the foundation of our society? Many articles have dealt with the failure of multiculturalism in Europe.

The aim of “Blue Beam” was to manipulate people’s religious faith with the help of electromagnetic waves, computers and global, real-time holographic projections to fake the coming of the Messiah.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMonast, having been singled out\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;by Canadian and American authorities, had a troubled life: he was accused several times of committing crimes, he was repeatedly placed under detention, dozens of house searches were carried out in his flat and office, piles of his semi-finished materials and documents were confiscated, they didn’t let him see his children, and his friends' distrust of him was engendered.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nOne and a half years after the revelation of the Toronto Protocols, he was arrested again on 3rd December, 1996 in Montreal. A criminal procedure was initiated against him for scare-mongering and other crimes, then he was taken into custody for 24 hours. The following day he was freed, but almost immediately he felt sick, and died the following day. According to his post-mortem – that was only carried out as a result of the persistent efforts of his wife, as no hospital wanted to deal with his case – the cause of death was heart failure. Serge Monast was 51 years old, known as a religious person, healthy as a horse, living without any addictions.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nConcerning the origins of the Toronto Protocols (Les Protocoles de Toronto) Monast only stated that he obtained it through “adventurous means”, and his reason for not revealing any details to the public was that “he could have endangered lives”. He claimed that the first part of the Protocols was created around the end of June, 1967 and it was further clarified and amended 18 years later, at a meeting in 1985. According to Monast, the leaders of the “New World Order” (NWO) ideology gathered in Toronto to elaborate their strategies for the following 50 years. One thing he revealed that out of the 18 participants, six represented the World’s most influential banks, six represented the most significant energy consortiums and six represented the largest agricultural and food consortiums. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSince Monast passed away shortly after the meeting, and his records have not been found either, the origins of the document cannot be verified, and we do not wish to attempt to do so either. The only thing that is certain is that the document is at least 20 years old, thus concerning the course of events after 1995, the protocols are remarkable regardless of whether Monast himself wrote them or not. There is very few content available of the Toronto Protocols online, so we wish to provide you with a shortened version highlighting the most interesting parts in our opinion.

Throughout history many have tried, but no one ever came even near to ending all the divisions of mankind. In order to achieve this, the individual and the traditional social structures –like family, nation and religion– have to lose their meaning so that new, global ideas can replace them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe program is all about planning for long term. All steps are planned according to this and have been built on each other. The two main directions are given by the document’s motto “Panem et circenses” (Bread and circuses) because according to the authors, most people can be controlled if you provide them the means of sustenance and give them ways to spend their free time. According to the document if the masses go in the desired direction, others who think differently about politics, ideologies and religion, can be easily isolated, eliminated or forced to cooperate. The globalist project aims to create a “society of comfort” where everybody is provided with entertainment like easily accessible and varied travelling, sports and sex. “The Man has to be controlled so that he might believe this is \"Modern\", and that his modernity consists of his capacity, and his possibility of being able to enjoy much, and now all that surrounds him.“ To achieve this, the media, the fashion industry and the culture have to be controlled. “Thus holding the \"senses\" of the youths (that is, tomorrow's adults) under control, we will consequently have the way clear for infiltrating and transform in depth without being disturbed, the politics, the legal system and the education.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\nThe liberation of the individual\u003C\/h3\u003E\nHow can total control be achieved over the life of people, especially young people? The document considers changing the social structure based on family to be the most important goal, saying if this can be shaken, the traditional religious beliefs can be done away with as well. \"The foundations of 'Western Society' in its essence, originates straight from Judeo-Christian heritage. It is precisely the same heritage which made \"family\", the \"node\", the \"cornerstone\" of all existing social structures.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nChanging the idea of family started by the authors of the 19th and 20th century. It was continued by non-conformist philosophers, so people will replace the interest of the family with the interest of the individual. The changes were made in the name of being progressive, modern, and democratic.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\nBy making the rights of the individual absolute, the interest of national, ethnic, religious groups are overshadowed. ‘It is no longer society (the right of the majority) that must be protected against individuals that can threaten, but rather (the Right of the Individual) needs to be protected against the potential threats of the majority’.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\nThe legal protection of nontraditional sexual behaviours as fundamental individual rights serves prioritizing the individual over the society, just as making child protection laws and institutions that enable the state to take the supervision over children from the parents if it is considered justified.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\"Thereby transferring the \"Parental Role\" to the State, it will become much easier for us to monopolize, one by one, all the responsibilities that had been, to this day, the exclusive responsibility of parents. This is how we can make  be considered by all as an abuse against children, the traditional religious education of the Judeo-Christian origin.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nPeople who think only the Communists and the Nazis wanted to monopolize education, are mistaken. Progressive societies don't want parents to raise their children according to their beliefs. They claim that they are protecting children’s individual rights, when for example they allow them to choose their own sexual identity at an early age. If this can be put into a global “child protection” constitution, the ban on separating sexes will not only be ushered in schools (as it is already happening in Scandinavian states) but it also will be expected of families to do the same. If parents insist on bringing up their children by naming them and dressing them according to their biological sex, \"child protecting services\" can intervene and take the \"endangered\" children away, as it would be done in case of physical abuse.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe document also talks about the staff needed, to get through the plans: \"For guaranteed success of such an enterprise, it is essential that civil servants who work in these \"offices\" in the service of the State are young, without past experiences that are imbued with ideas which we consider empty and vain, but believe with missionary enthusiasm that they are protectors of vulnerable children. These officials must consider all parents to be potential criminals who can be a danger to the welfare of the child.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\nThe promise of freedom\u003C\/h3\u003E\nIf children are successfully separated from their families at an early age, it becomes possible to educate a \"youth that is arogant, looks down on and humiliates\" others, by using the buzzwords of \"self-realization\" and \"freedom.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\"To complete the breakdown of the family, the education system, thus the society in general, it is essential to encourage the \"Sexual Freedom\" at all levels of the Western Society. It is necessary to lower the individuals by all possible means, and thus the masses made up of them, to be centered around satisfying their primal instincts\" - stated in the 1967 document, highlighting that sexual revolution is not only supported by culture and music but is also backed by the development of the pharmaceutical industry.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe development of modern contraceptives \"revolutionizes the Western societies and pushes the traditional moral principals and the Judeo-Christians into oblivion\" - says the document. The pill brings sexual freedom\" without consequences. It convinces women to break off everything that is perceived as \"the chains of tradition\" and the past, when women were slaves to men and the traditional Judeo-Christian family. In the past, women were the \"center and the main pillar of the family unit\", the modern woman however is an independent individual trying to step out from her traditional position and perception, to break away from the family and pursue her own agenda and goals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis process is supported by \"progressive feminist protest movements\" pursuing ever more radical demands, to bring about the \"total and obvious destruction of the family and the Judeo-Christian society. \" This \"Sexual liberation\" will be the ultimate means that makes it possible for us to remove \u0026nbsp;from the \"consciousness of the society\" any form of the concept of \"Good and to the Evil\". The collapse of the moral and religious guidelines enable the complete liberation of humankind from under the \"oppression of the past\".\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\"This open door, from the encouragement of sexual freedom and divorce to abortion and the legal recognition of the different forms of homosexuality, will help us to radically change the historical foundations of the legal system of the societies. It be a major asset to push for all of the individuals in a general relaxation of the morals, to divide the individuals as compared against each other, according to their instincts and their own interests, to destroy the future of the youth by pushing the adverse experiences of early sexuality and abortions, and to break the future generations morally by pushing them to alcoholism, addiction to different drugs (which our Senior International Lodge Officers will take charge of taking the control at the world level), and in suicide\" – states the document.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\nIn the network\u003C\/h3\u003E\nThe 1985 additions to the original documents give practical guidelines for the re-education of the youth. \"It is now possible to foresee the establishment of a kind of \"International Highway\" where all these machines are interconnected. Because, as you already know, the direct control of individual populations of the planet at the very least would be totally impossible without the use of electronic computers and attaching them to each other in a vast \"Global Network\". These machines also have the advantage of replacing millions of people. In addition, they have neither self-awareness nor any moral, which is essential for the success of a project like ours. Above all, these machines do, without question, everything what is dictated to them. They are perfect slaves of which our predecessors only dreamed, although they never doubted that one day it would be possible to perform such a miracle. These machines without nationality, color of skin, religion, and political affiliation are the our greatest possible tools and the slaves of the New World Order. They are the \"Cornerstones\"!\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\"The basic structure of our New World Order consists, in its essence, of a multitude of different networks, each covering all the spheres of the human activity on the whole of the planet. Until this day, all these networks were interconnected by a common ideological base: that of the Man as being the center and the ultimate fulfillment of the Universe.\" The statements of the document show a great deal of foresight from the authors, even if they had been written by Monast in 1995 (the largest social network, Facebook, only started at 2004 and became a global platform in 2010 when it reached 1 billion users).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe authors deem it necessary, that the individuals take part in the new global system enthusiastically and willingly, as opposed to the former authoritarian systems. Through this, people will not be alienated by the complete lack of control over their private sphere. \"And that is precisely what we will give him, encouraging him to take part, \"Body and Soul\", in this \"Global Electronic Network\" (...)   While this misled man will be absorbed by his blind enthusiasm to be a part of this new \"World Community\" by being a part of this vast \"Network of Computers\", for our account, we shall see, from the superior levers, which will be hidden from him, to file, to identify , to record, and to make profitable according to our own objectives. \" – says the document.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe enthusiasm towards technology is further encouraged by the educational system, which prefers technical skills rather than classical arts and  literature. This enthusiasm is very similar to the transhumanist views of contemporary culture.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\nDowngraded nations\u003C\/h3\u003E\nIf the young generations are placed into a technological and sensual dependence, it is possible to relativize nation states and finally, to disintegrate them. “If the nations would be deprived thereof that they can lean on a strong youth and that the individuals in the society could group around a common ideal, which is strengthened by indestructible moral trellises and historical support, they would have no choice but to subject themselves to our global will” – says the Protocols, that is detailing the program of economic and financial undermining of nation states. First it would transform the national economics throughout multinational companies, and then by the extraction of capital at the right moment in order to crack them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\"We would maintain a global economy worldwide that would be totally out of the influence of nation states. This \"New World\" economy would stand above all, neither politics nor trade unions would have control over it. It would dictate its own global politics, and would enforce political reorganisation, according to our viewpoints expanded on the world of course” – says the document, which also suggests increasing the defencelessness of the nations with financial-political instruments – for example with debt traps.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWe would manipulate the governments and the population of nation states so as that they give us a pretext that we, using the IMF, call on the Western states to accept so called \"restrictive budgets\" so they could virtually decrease state debt and maintain their international credit classification (which is an absolutely theoretical and unimportant aspect), and to preserve the peace of the society – which is also an impossible task for them.” The state debt, the dependence of international credits, and the credit classification of nations –these expressions emerged in the news nearly every day during the past years.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003E\nThe flow of refugees\u003C\/h3\u003E\nThe creators of the Plan believe, once they are able to restrict nation states' margins using international economy, global\u0026nbsp;trade and expensive UN-projects launched to handle all crisis, people's\u0026nbsp;mind can be controlled freely as well: \"This independent economy will operate on the basis of our laws and hereby we will establish a global mass culture\". With the help of the international media we control, we will establish a new culture, which will be uniform, thus making it practically impossible that someone would create something new. The future artists will be like we want them to be like or else they will not be artists. We don't have to fear any more that such independent works of art come into being that endangered the realization of our global ambitions so often in the past.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe most interesting paragraph of the document today was written 20 years ago but is about the use of a migrant crisis in order to realize the global plans: \"To assure us at all costs of the success of such an enterprise, making sure that our Agents already infiltrated in the Ministries of Intergovernmental Affairs and Immigration of Nation States make indepth modifications to the Laws of these Ministries. These modifications will essentially aim to open the doors of the western countries to a more and more massive immigration inside their borders (immigrations that we will provoke by taking care of touching off, here and there, new local conflicts). By well orchestrated press campaigns in the public opinion of nation states targeted, we shall provoke among them a significant refugee influx, which will destabilize their internal economy and increase the racial tensions inside their territory. We have to take care that there are foreign extremists among the migrants as well. This will facilitate the destabilization.\"\u0026nbsp;– writes the Toronto Protocols in 1985 (or not later than in 1995).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003EVia \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.hetek.hu\/hit_es_ertekek\/201510\/20_eve_kerultek_nyilvanossagra_a_torontoi_jegyzokonyvek\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EPéter Morvay, Hetek\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/heartofeuropeblog.blogspot.com\/feeds\/8092034259944404112\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/heartofeuropeblog.blogspot.com\/2015\/11\/toronto-protocols-revealed-20-years-ago.html#comment-form","title":"3 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/2079013854446632916\/posts\/default\/8092034259944404112"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/2079013854446632916\/posts\/default\/8092034259944404112"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/heartofeuropeblog.blogspot.com\/2015\/11\/toronto-protocols-revealed-20-years-ago.html","title":"Toronto Protocols revealed 20 years ago – What are they about?"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"b"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/13284126675653150991"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg2UGJZlYQA_zghdD9f3O8dxvpH_-LJh71Wd-YFK7cyGz8Dq-StirF7pAL5q6_AdtHJAtmFFoOPunJGvDcQsIGde25-0zUgqW87xkEhR7CJo2jJFMLoFy4Yjs38NnpApMOSbNdItr0S9Clr\/s72-c\/TP.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"3"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079013854446632916.post-9167461321720479683"},"published":{"$t":"2015-10-16T23:52:00.001+02:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2015-10-26T20:29:48.252+01:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"angela"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"bicske"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"crisis"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"croatia"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"germany"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"hungarinfo"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"hungary"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"islam"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"keleti"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"keleti station"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"merkel"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"migrants"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"migration"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"monoculturalism"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"orban"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"refugee"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"röszke"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"schengen"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"viktor"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Migration crisis in Hungary explained"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cimg border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg_GDKFPcZGhir8Fx4a2ydkbp9qY3UWjlD4VXuDNLdebQ4rF4BCrNXc3CwFh-_HFgbSmD-0LygAIWDXB8DgahrANqbFqJav5cie6cWm4Ceu3LUQGMoVqMpPgU3Nmwb9NWQWfT7kJ7PtDQ\/s1600\/explained.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nEurope is under the strike of a new wave of migration, the biggest since the second world war. The common understanding of the issue is mainly humanitarian, that focuses on Europe’s responsibility in offering a shelter to those in need. As much as this is important, there are more practical aspects of the crisis, such as the security dilemma caused by the unfiltered masses of people crossing Europe’s border, the higher risk of terrorism or the inevitable clash of two, majorly differing cultures. Hungary has chosen a seemingly controversial, but –as it was proven with time– more rational and down to earth stand. As the before marginal, small Eastern-European country decided to stick with its understanding of a judeo-christian Europe, it instantly found itself under fire from the liberal west. Just to be proven right.

Critics condemned for example using the army to guard the border and keep the situation under control or using fences and gates to keep the migrants in the designated areas. Croatia was one of the loudests, but they were quick to reassess their judgment after the tidal wave of migrants have turned from the closed border of Röszke to the Croatian border. The country prepared with no facilities – no toilets, clean water stations or tents. After one day, Croatia have sent its army to maintain the safety and have declared that the country is \"full\" after receiving 6000 migrants. The government sent the Croatian President to Budapest, to fix the relationship between the two countries. Croatia decided to opt out from living up to the Dublin regulation, and transported every migrant to the Hungarian border without registering them.

The 59 men, eight women and four children were crushed together and transported from the Serbian-Hungarian border to Austria by smugglers. The van was closed hermetically, so no fresh air could have got in and that’s what caused the tragedy. The migrants were supposedly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The experts identified more than the half of the victims, but the advanced decomposition of the corpses is making the process more difficult. The vehicle has a temporary Hungarian registration number, and was found by the maintenance men of the Austrian highway because of the stink coming from the van. Until now, six suspects from Bulgaria and Afghanistan were taken into custody. The tragedy deeply shocked both the leaders of Europe and Hungary, and though the proposed solutions were different, everyone agreed on a zero tolerance against smugglers.

Also new laws were introduced to prosecute those who cross the border illegally. Hundreds of people were caught on the first day, and many of them were sent back to Serbia. Legal crossing obviously remained available, where migrants naturally had to register to be taken to refugee camps near the Austrian border. The gathered hundreds at  the Serbian side decided to protest at the closed gate of the border. Police and counter terrorism units were ordered to make sure that the migrants would not break through illegally.

In turn Angela Merkel argues the migrant crisis is a test to Europe's core ideals and requires the countries to accept the refugees and provide shelter and haven for them. \"If Europe fails on the question of refugees, this close connection with universal civil rights ... it will be destroyed and it won't be the Europe we want,\" says the Chancellor while arguing for deliberately abandoning the common European regulations in favor of the ideals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nPublic support for these ideals have quickly changed as the migrants arrived to German cities.

But, to be honest, when I first saw fathers and mothers marching in the front lines at Röszke with their babies in their arms, I was not really in an understanding mood. As a father of a newborn, I simply couldn’t comprehend what I saw. How insane are those who intentionally join an illegal and clearly unsafe endeavor, trying to break through a country's legally protected border, carrying their babys, while walking straight into the water cannons and tear gas, just so they can parade their crying children in front of the cameras of the world press afterwards?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nBecause this is what happened at the border of Hungary.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n‘Where is the media?

The grid, however, was only a small piece of fence separating the railway tracks of Bicske, which could have been crossed by taking a few steps into either direction.
