Hungary has been left on its own to cope with the migration crisis for too long, the chairman of the European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee has acknowledged.

Veteran German MEP Elmar Brok, a member of the European People’s Party’s parliamentary group for Germany’s governing conservative CDU party, told German public radio in connection with the recent violent incident at the Röszke border crossing station that several migrants attempted to cross the border violently. He added that critical opinions from Germany are “listened to” in Hungary.

The senior conservative politician also claimed that the EU’s reaction to the refugee crisis was belated and Hungary was left on its own for too long in handling the situation.
