When Merkel opened the borders, the assumption was that Keleti station and the refugee treks will get to Germany but then the borders will be closed again. As I wrote back then, this was totally unrealistic. Consequently, neither Austrian nor German authorities prepared sufficiently (though they prepared much better than Hungary). Now they will have to deal with it, however much the interior ministers whine.
