Hungarian official: Pig's heads would repel Muslim migrants

A Hungarian member of the European Parliament has stirred controversy by suggesting that displaying pig heads on a border fence would be an efficient way to deter Muslim migrants from entering the country.

Gyorgy Schopflin, a member of ruling Hungarian Fidesz party, made the suggestion in response to criticism of local people who have placed carved root vegetable masks in the shape of human faces along the border, believing they would repel migrants from entering the EU-member country.
