THE TELEGRAPH: Hungarian prime minister calls for fences to be built on Greece's northern border to stem flow of refugees
Hungary’s prime minister on Friday said that the flow of refugees and migrants pouring into Europe must be halted altogether, not just reduced, and called for new border fences to be built in northern Greece.
Viktor Orban, who has maintained one of the hardest lines of any European leader against the unprecedented influx, called for the building of what he called a “European defence line” on Greece’s borders with Bulgaria and Macedonia.
He told Hungarian state radio that stopping the flow of migrants - the biggest refugee crisis in Europe since the Second World War - would be “the decisive issue of 2016”. » | Nick Squires, Rome | Friday, Janury 8, 2016
