Syrian refugees refuse to leave the train at the Hungarian Camp



On September 3, in the morning refugees stormed a train at Keleti Railways station, since it was believed that they can travel to Germany on that train .The locomotive of Pan-European Picnic was decorated for the 25th- anniversary of the event and even there was  a German flag painted on the track .
In fact -  due  to the lack of  proper information - no one knew exactly where the train would go . Since Gyor - Sopron  was written on the track, many people believed that they were being taken close to the Austrian border, but  the most steadfastly believed  that Germany will be the final destination. Finally the train stopped at Bicske refugee camp .Just 40 km off Budapest .  The refugees felt they were duped and refused to leave the train / they do not trust the Hungarian police  and they were waiving their tickets they had bought to go to Germany .During the hours of  long wait several children became ill from the heat and fatigue - a man  was close to faint  due to lack of insulin- a woman  suddenly wanted to throw herself in front of the arriving train .

  It is  a real "war of nerves" and a total stalemate .From the second half of the afternoon, they had not accepted  food and drink. They do not want to go to camp. Their sole goal is to get to Germany.
