Budapest’s train station — blocked by police for two days — opened its doors today to hundreds of migrants hoping to catch trains to Germany. Many tried cramming into rail cars only to have their hopes dashed by an announcement that service to western Europe had been suspended “indefinitely.” Hungarian leaders, meanwhile, will hold an emergency refugee summit tomorrow with their Polish, Slovak and Czech counterparts. They’re being urged by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to help share the burden with the rest of Europe ahead of a Sept. 14 EU summit. BBC, DW, FT (sub) |
