“The migrants coming from Syria look more like fighters than refugees… This
resembles an army!” This sentence, pronounced by the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on October the 2nd 2015, is indicative of the malaise over the migrant situation all over the
EU. Many people in other member states share his thoughts and the east European
country’s barbed wire fence has met wide-spread approval throughout the
continent; many frontiers have now been closed, such as the one between Austria
and Slovenia.
European
cooperation cannot really be deemed a success and it will now, without doubt,
be even harder to find a way to prevent the euro-sceptics from accelerating the
collapse of the EU...
According to the
newspaper “Le Monde”, the country that has received the most refugees, not only
Syrians, but also Iraqis and Eritreans, is Germany, with a million people
asking to stay in the country under the Geneva Convention in 2015, which
means a 500% growth over a year.
More than urgent,
the situation seems uncontrollable for the authorities, as the repartition
plan has not been accepted and the “hotspots” set up in Greece to control the
migrants’ flow are inefficient.
As Croatia, the Czech
Republic, Romania and Slovakia have refused to accept the quotas imposed by the
EU, new solutions have to be found... The newspaper “20 minutes” proposed to
send back in their respective countries, mostly to Africa, all the migrants who arrived for economic reasons. I personally disagree with
this proposition, as I think this will only take too much time, a time that
could be better used to build the necessary infrastructures for all these war
refugees fleeing from their countries.
