Oh God… please tell me that they have a better solution this time than pushing migrant redistribution quotas for the billionth time.
Refugees want to go to Western European countries specifically, not Poland or Slovakia or Hungary. This won’t change because France and Italy dump them on someone else’s hands.
Nor will these countries accept to pay huge amounts of money (which they can’t even pay for their own citizens) to host them somewhere else for what is essentially a Western issue.
Funny how Solidarity only comes up as a problem when France and Germany don’t like something…
At this point, only a total reform of the asylum application system can change the status quo, but nobody seems willing to tread that particular political cesspool.
I presume now the EU is fining Poland, we’ll see Poland less inclined to stop immigrants entering the EU via its own borders.
There is no need for an EU migration pact. Just make it impossible for illegals to come and stay in EU. Europe is for its population and not for Africans and Arabs, thus preserving Europe’s culture and heritage.
Same old, “mandatory solidarity” which is an oxymoron. Plus notation that some countries should have possibility to just pay money instead of taking some refugees.
I would like also to notice gaslighting of readers in article:
>Meanwhile, Schinas said in a podcast earlier this week that the recent crisis at the Belarusian border helped many member states realise that common problems require common solutions.
What crisis showed is that that border country sending 10,000 soldiers to guard the border simply works. Fences work fine too
a union of equals my ass
>France has also set itself the goal of creating regulations to make solidarity more binding when distributing refugees across bloc states. Their stance is that it should be up to member states to decide whether to accept more refugees or financially support states willing to let them in.
Hmm.
If the aim in ensuring asylee intake in maintaining EU population, I’d suggest tying it not specifically to refugees, but to working population or something similar.
I am skeptical that any EU member will succeed in getting their birth rate drastically up, but if they do succeed, that solves the problem as well as the EU intaking immigrants.
Similarly, immigration programs that are not based on asylum also maintain population. It is not essential that an immigrant be an asylee.
Perhaps even work visa programs.
Lastly, insofar as this goes to maintain the EU’s economy, this does not recognize and take into account the fact that countries in Eastern Europe have raised, trained, and educated a considerable workforce that has done a good deal to alleviate shrinking working populations in some countries in Western Europe. However, as things stand today, those countries of origin do not reap the economic output of these workers. It is other EU members that tax and enjoy their output.
If, say, Slovakia is expected to pay France for France taking in immigrants, as such intake aids the EU in maintaining its GDP, then can Slovakia apply economic output from Slovakians who have moved from Slovakia to France towards that bill?
