If no international solution is reached in the refugee crisis, Austria will have two options: “Either the current period goes further or there will be a hard action on the border, which also means the use of force” – Austrian Minister of Interior Johanna Mikl-Leitner told the magazine Die Presse. According to the People’s Party politician, in the latter case, situations can occur like in Macedonia. In August, at the Greek-Macedonian border, the country tried to stop the refugees with positioned defensive formation, tear gas and flash grenades, index.hu wrote.
Mikl-Leitner said all this about that according to the news, Germany wants to tighten the border control and would limit the admission of refugees. It is planned that those who are not entitled to asylum would be sent back at the border. According to the minister, if Germany “closes” its borders, Austria can prevent the staying of the refugees only by doing the same.
Because of the situation emerged at the Keleti railway station, Budapest, the two countries agreed on September 5 that refugees will be delivered by extra trains from Austria to Germany. Germany, however, has been able to place the daily 5-10 thousand new people less and less. Only in September, nearly 167 thousand refugees got there. Reportedly, Germans are willing to accept refugee trains for Austria only for a few days, index.hu wrote.
Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said in this regard: it is one thing what journalists write, but he regularly consult with Angela Merkel: “I say what the German Chancellor said. (…) There is only one agreement, and it is about asylum as a fundamental human right.”
However, Fayman admitted, if refuges stuck in Austria because of the Germans’ decision, that will lead to big problems.
The German government prepared a law package on tightening asylum rules on Tuesday. Currently it is being considered that fastened procedure used at airport transit zones will be introduced at the German-Austrian border as well. Accordingly, those who are clearly not war refugees must be sent back from the border in 48 hours, index.hu wrote.
The government of Bavaria, which is the most affected province of the refugee influx, is preparing to create transit zones at the border as a separate step, from where economic refugees would be sent back immediately and those who are entitled to protection would be sent to other German provinces.

Sent back from the border within 48 hours …. but to where and how will it be enforced ?
Will Hungary and Orban receive an apology and acknowledgement on the Front Pages of World Media News that their actions were in fact correct from the beginning !!!
Humble Pie, I think is not on Germany’s menu.
It’s about time the EU Commissioners got to grips with this Immigration fiasco once and for all. Europe cannot be a dumping ground for economic migrants in this unending stream of peoples.
If the Commissioners cannot sort the above out I suggest they turn to others who can and further will take into account their own citizens views, similar to the Hungarian governments handling of the situation and not that of the narrow EU view
When reading the UK press we are alarmed to see reports of German tenants being evicted from their rented council house homes to make way for immigrants
“If the Commissioners cannot sort the above out…”
They are quite caple to sort it out and they are doing so.
It’s just that their goal and solution is different from yours.
Why does everybody think these ‘Comissioners’ are imbeciles?
Is it because if they are not then you are unable to face the obvious alternative conclusion?
