Early Wednesday, police closed down part of a suburban train station in Budapest, and surrounded 100 migrants travelling from the southern border who refused to board a connecting train to a refugee camp in Debrecen.
Chanting, "Germany! Germany!" and "Freedom!" the group held a sitdown protest still ongoing by late evening.
Later, around 4,000 people took part in a migrant solidarity march from Nyugati station to parliament organised by the volunteers providing aid at the train stations.
