Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of migration is as old as humanity, and in every historical period it has intensified or decreased based on different situations that could have emerged. Nowadays, Europe faces such a huge mass migration that it has not been seen for a long time. During the last year, more than one million people arrived in Europe, out of which 400,000 via Hungary. This number surprised not only politicians and experts on the topic, but also the civil population and the attitude towards this phenomenon caused great division, both politically and from civilian perspective. It showed the division within the EU in that the Member States had totally different points of view regarding this phenomenon and regarding its root causes and they imagined totally different solutions for it. There are places where they highlighted the humanitarian aspect, in other places they placed their citizen’s safety first, and every other action had to be adjusted to this.
