Despite mainly being a transit state for asylum seekers and refugees, Hungary has introduced harsh measures against migrants
Reports of starvation and depictions in the media of asylum seekers and migrants as invaders have called into question Hungary’s policies on refugees.
The harsh stance on immigration, some claim, is meant to 'deter' asylum seekers from seeking refuge in the Central European state.Hungary received roughly 175,000 asylum seekers in 2015 at the height of what has been called the European refugee crisis. Morales said that “anti-migration discourse has become pervasive in both official and public spheres. In campaigns run by the Government, migrants have often been associated with security threats, including terrorism.”
Hungary operates two “transit zones”, Roszke and Tompa, on the border with Serbia, where migrants are held. When Morales visited these sites, there were roughly 280 people, and more than 60 percent of those in transit zones were children with many of them having been detained for over a year. “A young man was transferred from a community shelter to transit zone on 9 July [and] hasn’t received food since then”, the HHC said in a tweet.
