#Hungary CLOSES ALL ITS CAMPS for #refugees&creates two tent camps near the #Austria-n border, Fidesz caucus leader Lajos Kósa announces 1/3

The closing of all #Hungary-an refugee camps is clearly not rational, nor humane, since they are full & operate well beyond capacity. 2/3

‏@panyiszabolcs

So basically the HUN gov't forces all #refugees to two tent camps next to the #Austria-n border&hope they'll instantly leave (illegally) 3/3
