Austria to build fence on Slovenia border

Other way around (or I am mixing up incidents)

  • refugees are en route to Germany, Hungarian train association seems to have laxer rules regarding maximal train capacity.

  • Austrian train company: we don't even transport cattle like that. We're not taking over this train.... You're not gonna use our Rail network like that!

  • everybody: Austrian trains, why are you so racist?

  • refugees: "we want to Germany, Austria let us past"

  • Austrian train: for this route, we have a maximum capacity of (number) per day. We can also order extra buses that can transport (number) extra per day. We are not going to lower our saefty standards or ignore contracts or other obligations just like that.

  • refugees: why is this taking so long? Being homeless / living in a shelter sucks, just do it faster. why is it so hard to get to Germany? Nobody else cared about capacity, contracts or other people, why do you?

  • refugees: ok Hungary really does suck. Please faster!! Fuck Austrian trains we'll walk!

  • Austria you can't just walk in like that. We're not done preparing tea, coats, beds, .. Well honestly we just started building yesterday... We need more time...

  • refugees: we don't care we want to enter Germany, Austrian rules are to complicated why can't you make exemptions? Enter! (Those image of refugees overrunning the border police and entering by force really did a lot of damage. Everybody knows that this only has been a tiny percentage of the refugees, but it showcased the inability to keep the border safe. Who is going to run over it next time?)

  • Germany: yeah we're not gonna continue taking everybody.

  • everybody else: fuck. What now?

So yeah, pretty much everybody is pissed and annoyed about everybody else. Austria is not free of racist hick ups, but the acting sections of government remained reasonable most of the time (unlike the politicians, the media or the populations). I don't blame the refugees for not trusting promises or being desperate, but I blame Germany a little for raising so many people's hopes.
