Dozens of foreign citizens including local expats are stuck at Budapest Airport despite having Hungarian registration cards, due to the government's decision to close the countryʼs borders.
The Guardianʼs correspondent Shaun Walker wrote on Twitter that he got confined to a small room for hours by the departure gate, in close confinement with about 60 people. He Tweeted today:
"It's a pretty outrageous situation - most people here are Hungarian taxpayers with jobs, homes, lives or partners here. There is water and sandwiches but the close confinement is hardly ideal in the circumstances and the only space to (attempt to) sleep was on the floor."
