| Ungarns Ministerpräsident Viktor Orbán: Verschärfte Gesetze kompromisslos anwenden |
Ungarns Ministerpräsident Viktor Orbán hat seine Grenzpolizei zu entschlossenem Handeln aufgerufen. „Wir wollen kein Chaos“, sagte Orbán am Montag bei der feierlichen Vereidigung von 868 neuen Grenzpolizisten am Budapester Heldenplatz. „Wir wollen nicht, dass eine Völkerwanderung weltweiten Ausmaßes Ungarn verändert.“ Orbán forderte die Polizisten auf, in menschlicher, aber kompromissloser Weise die ungarischen Gesetze anzuwenden. » | Quelle: dpa | Montag, September 14, 2015
Refugees Rush to Enter Hungary as Door Slams Shut: Entering the Country Illegally Will Now Be Punishable by Up to Three Years in Prison
Almost 26 years since the day, in 1989, when Hungary opened its borders to citizens of East Germany, heralding the collapse of the Iron Curtain, those same barriers are being closed. In a desperate effort to stem the flow of asylum seekers fleeing war zones in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond, the Hungarian government deployed flanks of police and soldiers wielding automatic weapons to patrol its border with Serbia, assisted by a 110-mile long newly constructed barbed-wire fence.
According to new legislation effective from Tuesday, entering Hungary illegally will constitute a criminal act, potentially punishable by a prison sentence of up to three years. This afternoon police closed the unofficial crossing along a train track between the Serbian village of Horgos and Roszke in Hungary, a route previously popular with refugees. » | Andrew Connelly | Roszke | Monday, September 14, 2015

Marine Le Pen dénonce les migrants «arrogants et exigeants»
Réfugiés : pour Marine Le Pen, «l'Allemagne s'écrase sur le mur de la réalité»
Elle a réagi au quart de tour. À peine l'Allemagne avait-elle annoncé le rétablissement des contrôles aux frontières avec l'Autriche que Marine Le Pen dégainait son communiqué. «Après avoir totalement ouvert ses portes aux migrants pour de basses raisons économiques, voyant dans cette masse humaine un réservoir de travailleurs à bas coût, l'Allemagne est soudainement rattrapée par la réalité de sa folie migratoire», assure la présidente du FN. «Par suivisme et idéologie, le gouvernement français s'est mis, lui, dans la pire des situations, acceptant de faire peser sur les Français la charge des migrants que l'Allemagne a fait venir en Europe, et que finalement elle ne souhaite plus aussi largement recevoir» ajoute-t-elle. Marine Le Pen réclame la suspension dans l'urgence des accords de Schengen en France «pour éviter que le trop-plein de clandestins dont elle ne veut plus ne vienne chez nous». » | Par Le Scan politique | lundi 14 septembre 2015

Australian prime minister Tony Abbott has been ousted in a stunning coup by self-made millionaire Malcom Turnbull continuing the nation’s five-year run of leadership swaps.
Winning a 54 to 44 Liberal party-room vote in Canberra on Monday, Mr Turnbull, 60, promised to unite the party and the nation with a new style of leadership that “respects the people’s intelligence”. The deputy Liberal leader, Julie Bishop, backed Mr Turnbull and easily won back her position in a 70 to 30 vote against cabinet minister Kevin Andrews.
The former Rhodes Scholar and investment banker holds more progressive political views than Mr Abbott, an ardent conservative and monarchist, but immediately signalled he will restrain his own personal support for same[-]sex marriage and strong action on climate change.
“This will be a thoroughly Liberal government committed to freedom, the individual and the market,” he said. » | Jonathan Pearlman, Sydney | Monday, September 14, 2015
Isil Terrorists Could Infiltrate Europe by Hiding among Refugees, Warns Pope Francis

| Pope Francis has warned that Isil terrorists could be hiding among the tens of thousands of refugees who are entering from war-torn countries such as Syria and Libya |
Pope Francis has warned that Isil terrorists could try to “infiltrate” Europe, hiding among the tens of thousands of refugees and migrants streaming to the continent from war-torn countries such as Syria and Libya.
He said Italy in particular found itself in a vulnerable position, with Isil having established a presence just a few hundred miles south on the desert coastline of Libya.
"It's true, nowadays, territorial security conditions are not the same as they were in other periods (of mass migration)," the Jesuit Pope told a Portuguese radio station in a wide-ranging interview, days before he embarks on a gruelling tour of Cuba and the United States.
"The truth is that just 400 kilometres (250 miles) from Sicily there is an incredibly cruel terrorist group. So there is a danger of infiltration, this is true." » | Nick Squires, Rome | Monday, September 14, 2015

Inside Story: Is 'People Power' More Important Than We Think?
'One Million Refugees' May Arrive in Germany This Year
One million people may arrive in Germany seeking refugee status this year, up from the record 800,000 arrivals its government had earlier predicted, vice chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said.
"There are many signs that Germany this year will take in not 800,000 refugees, as forecast by the interior ministry, but one million," he wrote to members of his centre-left Social Democratic party on Monday.
Germany on Sunday reintroduced identity checks on people travelling within the passport-free Schengen zone, essentially reversing its open-door policy for Syrians. » | Al Jazeera and agencies | Monday, September 14, 2015

Clashes Continue Near Al-Aqsa Mosque as Benjamin Netanyahu Calls for Emergency Meeting
Clashes between protesters and Israeli police near the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City have continued for a second consecutive day on Monday.
Israeli police arrested over a dozen Palestinians after a policeman and a Jewish youth were injured in violent confrontations on and near the Haram Al Sharif/Temple Mount compound, holy to both Jews and Muslims.
Masked Palestinian protesters attacked the Israeli police with stones and metal rods as they entered the site, Israel’s Channel 2 reported.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, said he will hold emergency consultations over the clashes that began on Sunday when a violent confrontation erupted between the police and rioters near the mosque.
The police were pelted with rocks and stones near the mosque and unleashed stun grenades and tear gas on the rioters, who barricaded themselves inside the mosque. Several home made pipe bombs were discovered in the vicinity of the al-Aqsa mosque and are being examined by the police. » | Inna Lazareva, Tel Aviv | Monday, September 14, 2015
