匈牙利拟在边境部署军队阻挡难民潮

Hungary is set to deploy the army at the EU’s frontiers as part of a military response to Europe’s largest migration crisis since the second world war.

匈牙利将在欧盟前沿部署军队，这是对二战以来欧洲最大规模难民危机做出的军事回应的一部分。

Janos Lazar, a Hungarian minister, said the government had discussed a possible military build-up after police reports that 2,500 migrants penetrated the border with Serbia on Tuesday. One official said the numbers were the highest in Hungary’s history.

匈牙利部长级官员亚诺什拉扎尔(Janos Lazar)表示，政府已就可能的军事部署展开讨论，此前警方报告称，周二有2500名移民穿越匈牙利与塞尔维亚边界。一名官员表示，这个数字是匈牙利史上最高的。

Mr Lazar’s statement came days after Bulgaria dispatched troops to its border with Turkey, prompting criticism from human rights groups that warned against a militarised response by European countries.

在拉扎尔发表上述言论几天前，保加利亚在该国与土耳其边境部署军队，这引发了人权组织的批评，他们警告欧洲国家不要采取军事回应。

Evidence of a build-up of migrants on Europe’s south-east border comes as Angela Merkel, German chancellor, prepares to attend a summit with Balkan leaders in Vienna today to discuss a fresh response to the refugees crossing the former Yugoslavia.

有证据显示，欧洲东南部边境移民增多，德国总理安格拉默克尔(Angela Merkel)正准备今日与巴尔干国家领导人在维也纳举行峰会，讨论对穿越前南斯拉夫的难民的最新应对举措。

The summit comes days after Macedonia’s army fired tear gas and stun grenades at 2,000 migrants massed on its border with Greece before falling back as they broke through border defences.

在此次峰会召开几天前，马其顿军队向聚集在该国与希腊边界的2000名难民发射催泪弹和眩晕弹，但在难民人潮突破边境防御设施后撤退。

“Plans to use the army to stop asylum-seekers in Bulgaria and Hungary are ill-advised. Militarisation of borders is the wrong answer to migration,” said Nils Muiznieks, the Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner.

欧洲理事会(Council of Europe)的人权专员尼尔斯穆伊兹涅克斯(Nils Muiznieks)表示：“动用军队阻止保加利亚和匈牙利境内难民的计划并不明智。边境军事化是解决移民问题的错误做法。”

More than 140,000 refugees have arrived in Hungary so far this year, mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. While much attention has focused on migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Italy by sea from northern Africa, governments have struggled to co-ordinate a response to tens of thousands travelling through the western Balkans and entering the EU via Hungary.

今年迄今，已有逾14万难民抵达匈牙利，主要来自叙利亚、阿富汗和伊拉克。在人们注意力主要集中于从北非横渡地中海抵达意大利的移民之际，各国政府也在艰难地协同回应数以万计穿过西巴尔干地区、借道匈牙利进入欧盟的难民。

The Hungarian government said military deployment would be subject to parliamentary approval but confirmed six police “border hunter” units were preparing for deployment.

匈牙利政府表示，军事部署将需要获得议会批准，但证实，警方的6个“边境猎人”小分队正准备投入部署。
