Luxembourg say Hungary Should be Kicked Out of EU
Luxembourg’ Foreign minister Jean Asselborn has demanded that Hungary must be kicked out of the EU because they constructed a 110-mile-long fence to stop migrants crossing the continent. He said that the Hungarian government had disregarded the “values of the EU” with its anti-migration policies.

There are deep running memories that have prevailed for centuries. When I was there one time, I was reminded that they massacred 600 Christians. When I thought I had missed a major event and asked when was this, I was told about 300 years ago.
