Europe 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. Here is the timeline of what happened in Hungary, the first real border country of the EU, where migrants arrive first.
