HUNGARIAN Prime Minister Victor Orban accused Croatia yesterday of a left-wing conspiracy to lead an Arab invasion of his country.
In a radio interview, anti-immigrant Mr Orban said that the wave of refugees fleeing wars looked “more like an army than asylum-seekers.”
While other countries could welcome “young men from the Arab world who look like warriors,” it was unacceptable “to have this forced upon Hungary.”
The PM accused Croatia’s Social Democratic Party government of “following the orders not so much of their people as of the Socialist International,” and of encouraging refugees to come to Europe.
Hungary has erected a 109-mile border fence and deployed armed troops to stop refugees entering from Serbia, leading them to find routes through Croatia to friendlier Austria and Germany.
Croatian Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic said yesterday that almost 100,000 refugees had entered the country since mid-September.
