Express: 35 MILLION migrants heading to Europe, says Hungary as it builds second fence

SHOCK estimates predict up to 35 MILLION refugees could head for Europe due to hugely unstable situations across the world.

The huge figure was revealed today by Hungary's minister for foreign affairs and trade Peter Szijjártó.

Speaking as the country begins work on its second fence to stop migrants heading across its border he predicted the current crisis will continue for years.

Mr Szijjártó told Hungarian Times: "The name of the fence is 'Temporary Security Border Fence' but I think there is no question that in this case temporary means years.

"It's a self delusion to call this situation a migration crisis; it is a massive migration of nations, with inexhaustible reserves.

"I don't think that the analysis results, stating that 30-35 million people out there could possibly become migrants, would be an exaggeration.

WNU Editor: I have been posting in this blog that from what I have been reading in the past few weeks (from news websites and blogs in Africa, Middle East, Asia, etc.) .... there are about 20 million (plus) who are planning to move/migrate to Europe right now or in the near future. That is why this  Hungarian minister's remarks do not surprise me, and quite frankly no one else should be surprised. The world is a very poor and dangerous place, and in the eyes of many migrants Europe is their salvation.  But truth be told .... if Europe should hypothetically make the decision today that their borders are open and that they would accept everyone and anyone who desires to live in Europe with all of its benefits and rights unconditionally .... expect 1 billion (minimal) to rush to the open gates with a month.
