国际英语新闻:Hungarian Police Struggle with Refugee Influx

Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban denigrated the EU's call to distribute migrants through a quota system.

Orban described his country as a "black sheep'' representing a voice of reason in the 28-nation EU.

The flood of refugees is unrelenting, with 15,000 to 18,000 stranded on the Greek island of Lesbos in what migration minister Giannis Mouzalas described as "miserable" conditions. He said two-thirds of them would be transported to the Greek mainland in the next five days.

One Lesbos resident, Efi Latsoudi, deplored the Greek effort to cope with the influx of refugees.

''The situation is the result of our political unwillingness, or incapacity, or don't know what it is, to help these people," Latsoudi said. "We never created reception conditions, we never created a place that these people have some support, have some information in the system."

Hungary eases travels

Despite Hungary's opposition to the mass refugee migration, passage through the country is much smoother than it was last week when the central European nation seemed ready to do whatever it could to prevent the migrants from entering the wealthier western European nations.

Hungarians are now posting Austrian train schedules for the refugees at Budapest's Keleti station. Last week, police tear-gassed the migrants at Keleti who wanted to go to Austria.

One observer said the trains to Austria are now "just loaded" with migrants.

Upon their arrival at Vienna's Westbahnhof train station, the refugees are met with applause from Austrians who efficiently guide the travelers from one train to another in their journey to Germany. Very few of the refugees are opting to stay in Austria.

The train ride from Budapest to Vienna is not exactly comfortable as refugees have to wait in long lines, but at least the journey is possible, which it was not last week.

Austria has, however, said it plans to lift the emergency measure that has made that route relatively easy.

Other information in the pipeline that could change soon includes a number of holes and gaps in the razor fence at the Hungary-Serbian border. Hungary says it intends to patch the holes, but for now, refugees are streaming through.
