Abstract

This chapter aims to answer how the management of the mass inflow of refugees into Hungary in 2015 has transformed solidarity, particularly regarding the system of border controls and fencing introduced between 2015 and 2021. In contrast, spontaneous solidarity by NGOs and volunteers to help refugees appeared to counteract state-level reluctance, but this counter-movement faded as the official admission of a few third-country-national migrants became more blatant. The 2015 refugee crisis is illuminating, as the ambivalence of solidarity towards Ukrainian refugees arrived since 2022 has not disappeared with the institutionalisation of temporary protection in Europe. Most refugees still spend little time in Hungary, as most conditions for getting by here are lacking. Hungary has become a source of secondary migratory movement once again.
