Ten Years Since Viktor Orban's Border Fence Drew Ire of Brussels + Video

Ten years ago, Hungary began constructing a border barrier to control illegal migration, initiated by Viktor Orban's government in response to rising asylum applications. The fence significantly reduced the number of illegal immigrants entering Hungary, shifting the demographics of asylum seekers from Kosovo to crisis zones like Syria and Afghanistan. The construction was expedited with military support and funding, leading to the completion of the barrier by August 31, 2015.
