Europe has reverted back 150 years. Same 2 nations are again telling everyone else what they have to do. So much for the EU.
It started out as a trading block, then the Bureaucraps took total control. Now things are dictated from Brussels.
At some point the group financial advantage is obliterated by the punitive fines for not obeying.
Greece, wholly subsidized by the EU, should be the first to refuse refugees.
Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic dump the EU!
Look for more Brexits to come, until there are only 10 left.................
The European Union is becoming like the typical labor union. You pay to be a member. Being a member gets you nothing.
F France and Germany. They are both Muslim countries, they just won’t admit it.
Send them all back. The existential threat to their lives is no more now than it was prior to the fighting.
Why does the EU think it’s responsible for Africa?
The same Racist Africa that’s hunting down white people and taking their farms without restitution?
No; it was always this way even back during the EEC days. The Treaty of Rome is very clear that the goal was to forge “an ever-closer union among the European peoples” even back in 1957. The form of unelected government in Brussels that exists today was actually put in place earlier than that, by the 1951 Treaty of Paris.
Just getting the old Carolingian empire back together again.
“It started out as a trading block, then the Bureaucraps took total control.”
Nope. The bureaucrats wrote the Treaty.
The point here...is that it’s a position-paper, and nothing much else. The Germans want the French in some ‘all-or-nothing’ attempt to just ram it down on EU members. I don’t see more than five or six accepting this, and the rest just laughing over the mere suggestion. No one is going to pay anything (refugee-tax will be term used), and it’ll be a major factor in the May 2019 EU election.
I’ll add this issue...just because you accept refugees....doesn’t mean that they will stay in your country. The minute you arrive in Portugal, Greece or Poland....discovering almost no real money to help you make it the first two years while in language training....everyone will pack up and head over to Germany. The other issue...just about every single African heading north...has only two destinations in mind....UK and Germany.
Beautiful unique European cultures will be destroyed at the alter of ‘cheap labor and efficiency' for German Industrialization... In return member EU states will become interchangeable gray ‘cogs’ - part of a well oiled machine.
And they'll discover in time that the United States will NEVER come in to save their sorry butts again.
Reply: “Send in the Wehrmacht and try to collect.”
If I was Putin, I would start rebuilding the Iron Curtain with countries that want out of the EU.
The rise of the Holy Roman Empire.
“The measure is seen as a form of “alternative solidarity” in which EU member states pay into the EU’s budget for developmental projects in Africa.”
LOL. Diversity credits. Just like carbon credits.
How much? Might be worth it...
All kidding aside, tell the EU to stuff it. What are they going to do about it?
The fake “solidarity” of the EU in the Franco-German dictats to everyone else is exposing the sham “unity” meme played by the EU-centric elites all across the EU.
