We have stayed almost a week around Röszke observing the situation around the field camp. Today we walked with a group of refugees from the Serbian side of the border to Hungary – via train tracks towards Röszke‬. Mostly families. Many kids. Being told that busses await them in a few hundred meters, no registration forced upon them, transport towards Austria organized for today. Refugees were cheering while arriving. That was how it worked all afternoon. The border was open at Röszke.

The border stopped them this time. The fence was being built and closed down right when we have arrived. Workers constructing the last meters of the fence at high speed. No refugee allowed to enter. Hundreds of refugees about to arrive. Everyone expected the border to be closed by midnight.

Because of our passports and cameras we were forcefully lead by police to enter to the Hungarian side, literally at last second. All the refugees behind or walking with us were neglected entry. Army and police forces, helicopters on the Hungarian side.

This is EUrope. Its war against refugees. Its Roma people being criminalized for car driving, called smuggling. There was police razzias today at all gas stations around Röszke in search of car drivers and unregistered refugees. Röszke is a militarized zone now. By midnight its a crime passing the border undocumentedly.
We need to organize resistance against this violent border regime. Inform each other of how to support local and transnational refugee struggles.
