Budapest (AFP) - Hungary on Sunday lashed out at French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius over his criticism of the country's new anti-migrant border barrier, accusing him of "shocking and groundless" judgements.
In an interview with French radio Sunday morning Fabius said the razor-wire barrier, which runs the length of Hungary's border with Serbia, does "not respect Europe's common values".
Fabius also called "scandalous" the attitude of "a certain number of European countries, particularly in the east" who oppose a quota scheme for the distribution of migrants across EU member states. He did not name the countries targeted by that remark.

Merkel’s CDU might lose support but there’s no one really for public to slide their votes onto. There’s no enthusiasm for the SPD...the Greens have maxed out on public support...and the Linke Party (far left) might get near sixteen percent of the vote but that’s it. Everyone’s expectation of the AfD doing something dramatic, getting a first-rate candidate, and taking up a anti-immigrant position....well, it just ain’t happening.
The French have always been a bit weird.
Maybe Hungary should start producing border fences (or refugee camps).
Maybe they should have just left the Iron Curtain up.
Maybe Reagan should have brought it back with him?
(have ya noticed how Barry is using Reagan’s tactics against Russia.... on US?
With respect to our political terminology, what exactly is a “Far right Swedish Democrat”?
