Thorw them out - or punish them at least

Much later...

The above seems to be part of the general public opinion in Sweden (according to people who are published in the Swedish media), about Hungary and Hungarians. The intolerant and rather inciting rhetoric is contradictory to the self-image of Swedish people who pose to be kind, humane and tolerant people. At least, that is what the majority would think they are.

The harsh condemnation of Hungary in connection with the exodus of migrants of our time has continued and deepened. I sense an awkward feeling that the anger that is directed against Hungary is rooted in the inability of handling the situation in a satisfactory manner that many feel. Ad hoc, private and voluntary hands give help the immigrants arriving to Western European countries. In Sweden, for example, those hands begin to tramble, paople are getting tired of serving hundreds of people; making their beds, cleaning the toilets, serving meals and making sure that the migrants have somewhere to sleep. The volounteers are getting exhausted (after just some weeks, while other countries have been under much greater pressure during several months now), because they did not expect the migration to go on as long as it does go on.

Still. There is hope as not all migrants want to stay in Sweden. The mirage of the 'alian friendly' country begins to fade away now, when it has been clear to the migrants that not all of them are welcome to stay. At least, not all of them can count on getting permit of stay and in that case, Sweden is just another transit country for many migrants. 

Compared to Hungary, Sweden gets away with little experience of migration and damage after it. Hungary on the other hand has been tying to handle migration for months, getting migrants by the thousands each day. Not to speak of lone children without kin, who also arrive and are taken care of by the Hungarian authorities.

Another hope is that EU has now decided to support the countries with enormous quantity of refugees in the neighborhood of Syria. That is really good news in my opinion. Help should be provided where it arises at the very first stage.
