Migrant crisis: German company refuses to sell razor wire to Hungary for anti-refugee fence

Quote:A German company has refused to sell razor wire to Hungary, which is building its border fence with Serbia in a bid to stop asylum-seekers from entering the country, according to reports.
Mutanox, a Berlin-based wholesale supplier of wires and fences, was asked by Hungary in August to submit a tender for the purchase of 9,000 to 10,000 rolls of wire to employ in its infamous fence. But the company refused to go ahead with the sale, citing humanitarian concerns. "The wire is designed to prevent criminal acts," a spokesman for the company told Die Welt. "Children and adults fleeing is not a criminal act."

Suddenly a for-profit corporation is concerned about humanitarian issues.

Yet another example of the atmosphere of fear pervasive in all layers in the German society on this issue.
