If nothing else, it would be a very picturesque fence.
An MEP has proposed putting pigs' heads on Hungary’s border fences to deter refugees trying to enter the country.
The country’s right-wing government has been criticised internationally following its perceived harsh attitude towards refugees. As part of measures to block refugees seeking to enter the country, Hungary erected a vast border fence in the hopes of stopping movement into their borders.
It recently emerged security forces have begun making scarecrowsin crude attempts to deter refugees trying to enter. In response to criticism over the tactic, Hungarian MEP for the Christian Democratic European Peoples’ Party Gyorgy Schopflin tweeted: “Human images are haram… pig’s head would deter more effectively.”
It probably would at that. Hungary is being criticized for trying to hold back the invasion.
Of 177,135 asylum applicants to Hungary in 2015, just 146 were approved, according to government statistics.
One suspects that the assault rates in Hungary also look better than in Germany.
