Hungarian PM: Migrant crisis is a 'German problem'

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday insisted the migrant crisis was a German problem, not a European one as he defended his government's handling of thousands of refugees flooding into his country, shortly after hundreds of refugees and migrants stormed a train at Budapest's reopened main international railway station, which has become a flashpoint for people trying to head to western Europe via Hungary.

"The problem is not a European problem, the problem is a German problem," Orban told a press conference with European Parliament President Martin Schulz in Brussels.

"Nobody wants to stay in Hungary, neither in Slovakia, nor Poland, nor Estonia. All want to go to Germany. Our job is just to register them."

"We have clear cut regulations at the European level," he added. "German Chancellor (Angela Merkel)...said yesterday that nobody could leave Hungary without being registered."
