Hungarian Minister of Interior Sándor Pintér announced in Budapest on Wednesday that Hungary is officially in a “state of emergency” because of the migrant crisis and has called up thousands of troops to the border with Romania.
Announcing the deployment of troops, the minister said: “we don’t know exactly what reactions those refugees and illegal migrants will have, [those] who are already inside the neighbouring countries. Therefore the government has decided that to prepare for this situation Hungary will strengthen protection of its borders, and we declare a crisis situation due to migration for the entire country.”
New fears of migrants passing through both Romania and Bulgaria to get to Hungary triggered the move, with the unpredictability of the migrant crisis and the migrant flow being a huge cause for concern for the Hungarian government, reports Kronen Zeitung.
The Hungarians are also worried about the growing number of migrants who are stuck in Greece along the border with Macedonia and Bulgaria. There are concerns the tens of thousands now stuck along the Balkans may attempt to force their way through borders, as has been observed in Greece.
Some border regions of Hungary have already been in a state of crisis, but this is the first time the whole country has been placed on an emergency footing. The move has not gone without criticism in Hungary, with opponents of Prime Minister Viktor Orban saying that such a move in not necessary given the flow of migrants has dwindled since border controls were introduced last year.

10 years of Gripen operations for Hungary
Senior representatives of the Hungarian government, the Hungarian and Swedish Armed Forces, the Embassy of Sweden to Hungary, Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and Saab, came together on 4 March 2016 to celebrate Hungary’s first ‘Gripen decade’ at MH 59, Szentgyörgyi Dezső Airbase, Kecskemét.
The Gripen ceremony was attended by senior representatives of Hungarian and Swedish governments, headed by Tamás Vargha Deputy Minister of Defence, along with Brigadier General Albert Sáfár, Air Chief of Hungarian Defence Forces Joint Force Command, Brigadier General Csaba Ugrik, commander at HDF 59th SZD Airbase, Major General Mats Helgesson, Swedish Air Force Chief of Staff and Captain Johan Stridh, Commander of the Swedish Air Force support group in Hungary.
Brigadier General Csaba Ugrik, base commander at HDF 59th SZD Airbase, Kecskemét, said that the past 10 years of experience show Gripen to be a very capable, reliable, and affordable aircraft, which gives the Hungarian Air Force full control of the air domain, both now and in the future.
“Co-operation with the Hungarian Air Force has always been smooth and effective and we are pleased to work with a team that has achieved so much success at home and in all its international operations,” said Jerker Ahlqvist, head of Gripen, Saab business area Aeronautics.
The ceremony included a hand-over to the Hungarian Air Force by the Swedish Air Force support group that helped with the introduction and transition to the Gripen system, along with day-to-day support for Hungary over the last 10 years.
“We are very thankful for the long and intensive support of the Swedish Air Force support group that helped us to operate our fully NATO interoperable Gripen fleet with such success in the past 10 years,” said Brigadier General Csaba Ugrik.
With the introduction of Gripen, the Hungarian Air Force successfully transitioned into a modern and effective NATO air force. This was recently underlined when the Hungarian Air Force successfully completed its participation in the Baltic Air Policing (BAP) mission. Four Hungarian Gripen fighters and about 80 personnel deployed to undertake the BAP mission in September 2015. The Hungarian contingent assumed responsibility for the air defence of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania for four months, ensuring the security of the region and the NATO Alliance.
Recently the Hungarian Air Force has started to train for night flying missions using newly-delivered night vision goggles (NVGs). This capability will further enhance the combat readiness of the Hungarian Air Force and boost the contribution of Hungary’s Gripens to international missions.
In 2001 the Swedish and Hungarian governments entered into a lease-purchase agreement, with a further modification in 2003, which included 14 Gripen C/D (12 single-seat plus two twin-seat) aircraft. All Gripens were delivered in 2006 and 2007 and, by the end of 2008, the 14 aircraft were in operational service with the Hungarian Air Force. In January 2012, the leasing agreement with Sweden was extended until 2026.
