匈牙利擬在邊境部署軍隊阻擋難民潮
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.
匈牙利將在歐盟前沿部署軍隊，這是對二戰以來歐洲最大規模難民危機做出的軍事迴應的一部分。
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.
匈牙利部長級官員亞諾什拉扎爾(Janos Lazar)表示，政府已就可能的軍事部署展開討論，此前警方報告稱，週二有2500名移民穿越匈牙利與塞爾維亞邊界。一名官員表示，這個數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.
在拉扎爾發表上述言論幾天前，保加利亞在該國與土耳其邊境部署軍隊，這引發了人權組織的批評，他們警告歐洲國家不要採取軍事迴應。
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.
有證據顯示，歐洲東南部邊境移民增多，德國總理安格拉默克爾(Angela Merkel)正準備今日與巴爾幹國家領導人在維也納舉行峯會，討論對穿越前南斯拉夫的難民的最新應對舉措。
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.
在此次峯會召開幾天前，馬其頓軍隊向聚集在該國與希臘邊界的2000名難民發射催淚彈和眩暈彈，但在難民人潮突破邊境防禦設施後撤退。
“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.
歐洲理事會(Council of Europe)的人權專員尼爾斯穆伊茲涅克斯(Nils Muiznieks)表示：“動用軍隊阻止保加利亞和匈牙利境內難民的計劃並不明智。邊境軍事化是解決移民問題的錯誤做法。”
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14萬難民抵達匈牙利，主要來自敘利亞、阿富汗和伊拉克。在人們注意力主要集中於從北非橫渡地中海抵達意大利的移民之際，各國政府也在艱難地協同迴應數以萬計穿過西巴爾幹地區、借道匈牙利進入歐盟的難民。
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，軍事部署將需要獲得議會批准，但證實，警方的6個“邊境獵人”小分隊正準備投入部署。
