    Hungary Closes its Borders

    The Hungarian prime minister announced on Sept. 15 that Hungary will be closing it’s borders and making it a crime to cross.

    Over 9,300 people made the final push before this new law was put into place.

    An Afghani teenager responded to this latest change by Hungary.

    “I thought that European people are kind and they will give us rights, but I don’t think so because the borders between Germany and Austria are closed, and Serbia and Hungary are closed too,” he said, speaking at Victoria Square in central Athens.

    Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel has called for a special summit meeting to discuss the ongoing immigration crisis in Europe.
