Hungarian prosecutors have filed charges against a camerawoman accused of kicking and tripping refugees fleeing police near the southern border with Serbia last year.

Petra Laszlo was fired from her job at N1TV, a television station with nationalist sympathies, after video footage spread online appearing to show her kicking a girl and a young man.

Her prosecution for disorderly conduct comes as political tensions mount over Europe’s migration crisis in the region.

Hungary is holding a referendum on whether to accept EU migrant quotas on 2 October, the same day as the far-right Freedom party is standing in presidential elections in neighbouring Austria.

All over the world. This slow steady trend of right wing meanies gaining courage as nationalist leaders in Europe and Trump in the USA gain ground, much thanks to the MSM that continues to normalize it.
