It is by now patently obvious that the refugee “crisis” that Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban has artifically and systematically created had 3 goals:
(1) to divert attention from Orban’s many mounting corruption scandals,
(2) to re-assert and reinforce Orban’s populistic self-image as the nation’s protector against the invasion of the Turks and the exploitation by the EU and
(3) to provide a pretext for introducing police-state legislation for enhancing Orban’s dictatorial powers.
(The bonus of the new emergency right to break into the homes of people suspected of giving refuge to refugees (sic!) is that Orban will now at last gain the legal right to break into the home of his arch-enemy, the former prime-minister, Viktor Gyurcsany, whom he had ousted through dirty tricks and character assassination and who is now giving refuge to the refugees: perhaps Orban will even be able to do what he has so long tried, so far unsuccessfully, to do, which is to find a legal pretext for imprisoning Gyurcsany.)
This is the standard M.O. of psychopathic dictators, if they are not stopped by concerted resistance from normal, decent people.
