Hundreds of Schools Hit by Islamist Bomb Scare in Anti-Migration Hungary
24th January 2025
Bomb threats targeting 292 schools across Hungary caused widespread evacuations and the cancellation of classes on Thursday, January 23rd. Police conducted thorough searches of the affected institutions, but no explosive devices were found, allowing pupils to return to school on Friday.
Following the bomb scares, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán said that his country would not only be facing threats but also acts of terrorism if they had admitted migrants to Hungary.
Speaking to Kossuth Rádió on Friday, Viktor Orbán said it was possible that the threats were orchestrated from an international hub, one beyond the reach of Hungarian authorities. He pointed to similar bomb threats against Slovakian and Czech schools last year. On Wednesday, numerous schools in Bulgaria also received bomb threats.
He noted that acts of terrorism occur regularly in Western Europe, therefore it is impossible to dismiss such events with a mere shrug of the shoulder. He stressed that “if we had allowed migrants in, we would not be facing threats, but acts of terrorism.”
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
