Slovak PM Fico Announces Massive Police and Armed Forces Deployment to Control Migration at Hungarian Border

In light of an 11-fold rise in registered migrants this year and concerns over new global conflicts, Fico's tough stance on migration signals the new government's strategies, initiating with immediate control of the entire 407-mile frontier with Hungary.

Prime Minister Robert Fico has announced a significant deployment of police and armed forces along the Slovak-Hungarian border in response to a surge in migration; however, the specifics of the deployment have not yet been detailed.
Slovakia has seen an 11-fold increase in migrant registrations this year, reaching nearly 40,000 by October 1; Fico asserts that illegal migration must be controlled to prevent potential 'terrorist' affiliated individuals from entering Slovakia.
This move follows the recent reintroduction of border controls by Slovakia's neighbours, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Poland, aimed at mitigating migrant traffic.
Fico's new government, formed under his leftist Smer or 'Direction' party, was sworn in last Wednesday; while the party's policy program has not yet been released, it is suggested that it will adopt a tough stance on migration.
The renewed control of the 407-mile border with Hungary is seen as the government's primary strategic approach to migration; the measure comes amidst concerns of a new wave of migrants due to escalating global conflicts such as the war between Israel and Hamas
