webfact Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 EU’s long march towards refugee solution continues in Brussels BRUSSELS: -- The EU summit of central and eastern European states grinds on in Brussels as the participants try to get agreement on dealing with the refugee crisis. It is proving once again to be difficult.Only two weeks ago there was a full summit, but with cracks widening in the EU fabric over the issue, the accent has shifted from solidarity to regulating the flow of people coming in.“We are all duty-bound by the Geneva Conventions. We have standards for human dignity and that’s why this is about relief and about how to share these tasks on the so-called Balkan route. Of course we will also talk about further developing registration centres on the outer borders. Better protection of the EU borders is an important task as we know,” said Merkel.Hungary’s Viktor Orban is here only as an observer, as his country has unilaterally sealed itself off. He thinks the EU should follow his lead.“Members of the European Union, especially the members of the Shengen treaty are not able or are not ready to keep their word. So we still have international agreements, everybody should keep them. My number one suggestion was that we should go down to the south to defend the border of Greece if they are not able to do this, but nobody listened to us,” he claimed.One proposal being discussed is 400 extra border guards on the EU’s western Balkan borders.“According to diplomatic sources, today’s summit was Angela Merkel’s idea. For many here in Brussels, the German Chancellor and the President of EU Commission Jean Claude Juncker wanted to send a clear message to the countries of central and southeastern Europe to stop unilateral actions and start cooperating between them,” says euronews’ Efi Koutsokosta. -- (c) Copyright Euronews 2015-10-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's reported the lovely Ankela also said the gateway from Turkey to Europe was the key to the issue but of course nothing about how she personally ripped the gateway off its hinges.

Bakseeda Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 What a joke European leaders are.... I do not know of one single European person ( not coming from a refugee background) That believes Europe should accept one single migrant, refugee or otherwise. All Frenchmen, Germanic, Celtic, Viking, Latins, etc..... would exterminate the whole damned lot ... Women children and men... Our leaders are letting the devil in through our own front door. Time to halt this invasion of our homeland... Do they not learn from ISIS.... Fools every last one of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jope Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 It's reported the lovely Ankela also said the gateway from Turkey to Europe was the key to the issue but of course nothing about how she personally ripped the gateway off its hinges. Like many people I was not very happy about the "we can make it". But now we must and will deal with the situation. And, of course, broader (German) shoulders must carry more than others. The question I would ask is: does "we" mean Europe or does it mean Germany (and Sweden)? For those who hate the idea of a united Europe anyway the answer is easy, but I like to think that Europe is more than an ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Whilst the EU gives emotive arguments in favour of mass immigration and calls names to those who oppose it the reality is that the so called 'refugee problem' is but a symptom of a far larger problem, which can't be solved by immigration. The video below concerns the U.S but is just as relevant to Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
