Röszke [ ˈrøskɛ ] ( Serbian Реске / Reske , Croatian Riska ) is a municipality in the Szeged County, which is in the Csongrád-Csanád County in southeastern Hungary . It has 3,252 inhabitants (as of 2011).
location
Röszke is three kilometers northeast of a border crossing to Serbia near Horgoš . The university town of Szeged is approx. 15 km away. The community is located on the Szeged – Röszke – Subotica railway line .
Röszke during the European refugee crisis
Röszke is the location of a refugee camp that served Hungary as an initial reception center for refugees arriving via Serbia.
In the summer of 2015, the movement of people from Syria via Greece to the inner EU ( Balkan route ) increased massively, the Serbian-Hungarian border is an external EU border . In the course of this Europe-wide refugee crisis , the Hungarian government under Viktor Orbán erected a border fence with Serbia . At the reception camp, there were massive police operations against refugees who refused to be registered, and then there were also mass outbreaks. The Röszke – Horgoš section of the Szeged – Röszke – Subotica railway line served as the main route for the refugees until the very end, with several thousand people crossing the border here every day at the beginning of September. On September 14th, this railway line was closed with a steel gate as the last construction measure. In the end, the camp, which finally comprised three camps, had recently been in disastrous sanitary and humanitarian conditions; it was completely evacuated that day. At the same time, 4,000 military men were relocated to the area between Hódmezővásárhely and Baja in preparation for the border deployment ( Határozott fellépés maneuvers 2015 , “Determined behavior”). Within a day, around 20,000 people who wanted to try to cross Hungary built up at the border. There were riots at the border crossing, during which the security forces prevented the barriers from being breached with water cannons and tear gas. As a result, the Hungarian authorities announced that they would block the border crossing completely for 30 days. The focus of the refugee crisis now became the Serbian-Croatian border near Šid / Tovarnik . Some of the waiting people made their way there independently, and some were transferred there by bus by the Serbian authorities. At Horgoš / Röszke, the flow of refugees subsided within days, and the information in social media reacted very quickly to the changed situation.
In May 2020, the European Court of Justice classified the accommodation of asylum seekers in the transit zone camp in Röszke as detention . This is admissible to check whether Hungary is responsible for an asylum application, but in no case should it last more than four weeks. Then the people would have to be released and given access to an asylum procedure with at least one opportunity to appeal to a court.
economy
There is a Unilever plant in Röszke . Among other things, soup powder of the Knorr brands and the Hungarian Delikát brand are produced.
traffic
By Röszke, which until 1918 to Austria-Hungary was one, is due to the still in imperial Austria planned and partly begun 84.3 Postmeilensäule (638.5 km) long standard gauge line from Romanian today Oradea (Oradea) over the now Croatian cities Osijek (Osijek ), Sissek (Sisak), Carlstadt (Karlovac) to Fiume (Rijeka) on the Adriatic . The Röszke including about 136 km long section of the Tschabe (Békéscsaba) - Maria-Theresiopel (Subotice) was already under construction in spring 1864, the rest of the route was still being laid. Already in 1848 in the XXX. Article of the law ( Hungarian Constitution 1848 ) ordered the construction of the wing runway from Szegedin to Maria-Theresiopel , but was initially omitted due to the financial difficulties that arose in the year of the revolution. In 1854 the Szeged – Maria Theresiopel – Mohács –Essegg line was part of the railway network set up by the Central Fortification Commission.
The Röszke station goes back to the year 1892, when concessionaires (possibly the 31.8 km long Horgos – Zenta line, which was put into operation on November 14, 1889 ) demanded the construction of the station because of the practical connection of the Horgos line with Szegedin .
