Greece reaches deal with Germany's Merkel to take back asylum seekers: FT

(Reuters) - Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is ready to sign a deal with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to make it easier for Germany to send asylum seekers back to other European countries, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

 

Tsipras told the FT he was open to a special agreement with Berlin to curtail the "secondary movement" of refugees that arrive at the European Union's southern border but then journey north to Germany and added that the EU's existing rule book for allocating responsibility for asylum-seekers was "out of life." https://on.ft.com/2IywpI5

 

Merkel said on Sunday she would seek direct deals with separate European Union states on migration, conceding the bloc had failed to find a joint solution to the issue threatening her government.

 

"We have to find a way, in the framework of the international law, to share the burden and to not have this unfair position for the frontline countries but also for Germany. Because it's not fair all these people to go to Germany, if we believe that this is a European problem," the FT quoted Tsipras as saying.  

 

Tsipras said any agreement with Germany would not have significant knock-on effects on Greece as only between 50 to 100 asylum seekers a month are crossing the country's northern border, according to the report.

 

Merkel is under pressure to get EU leaders at the main June 28-29 summit to agree to share out migrants more evenly to placate her conservative allies, Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU).

 

CSU allies have given her until the end of the EU summit to reduce the burden of immigration on Germany, which has taken in 1.6 million migrants since 2014. Otherwise, they will defy her and impose border controls, which could collapse the chancellor's fledgling coalition.

Maybe the plan was that because men are bigger and stronger they would survive the rigours of the journey more than women or kids.

Perhaps they would then find work easier than women or kids.

Oooh....huh

Merkel is in a hole. Her closest coalition partner is not happy about immigration. She could be forced to have another election. She doesn't want that. She needs an immigration quick fix.

 

Greece needs cash. There are many ways to give a country money. Move a few due dates around. Play with the terms of the loan, etc.

 

You scratch my back, I'll scratch your back.

Illegal immigrants who just fancy hand outs that Europe has to offer, you can't blame them for trying it on.

Greece takes them and Germany promises lots of cash from the EU.

Easy deal.

Maybe the plan should be that the men defend their country, because they are all fit and of an age to be in the military, than fleeing their country like cowards leaving wife and children behind.

Well may be you need your wife to hold your hand? I would forge ahead and then send word for chattels to follow when I had found some security for them. But I'm a Yorkshireman; what would I know?

And the 'chattels' you refer to will number 10 fold of the menfolk who have already arrived and will be claiming benefits, housing, medical care, complaining that their accommodation isn't large/expensive/modern/near enough to a Mosque, sitting around in designer wear, sponging, thieving, whining about bacon on sale and burning the national flag called the Union flag.  All in the name of integration - but as a southerner - what would I know?

Yes, of course. The EU has Greece by the short & curlies so they had to capitulate.

Italy are a totally different kettle of fish and will not be '' getting back in line '' for anyone.

Would you defend a corrupt and oppressive dictatorship or with an opposition who would operate in the same manner if they got into power, forced into conscription without pay or defined time etc etc? 

 

The matter of leaving family behind has been answered many times, yet you and others post the same inflammatory nonsense time after time.

 

if a group did manage to get organised along democratic principals to take the fight to the enemy, no doubt posts saying they are savages who cannot co-exist blah, blah

There are 2 sides in the war, so if they don't like one side, they can support the other side to secure their future.

 

But it's so much easier to move to the other side of the world where they get free hand outs, and can force their religion on others. Not?

Most wars in Africa are tribally based, often lead by extremely corrupt & brutal warlords and extremists of one persuasion or another.

 

Methinks you have no clue as to what you're talking about other than copying talking points from whatever extremist POV you follow. Happy to be proven wrong in my assumptions.

I agree. I don’t know what part of the word ‘illegal’ that they don’t understand.
