New Drone Footage Captures Scope Of EU's Migrant Crisis As Brussels Plans Refugee "Holding Camps"
Zero Hedge ^ | 26 Oct 2015 | Tyler Durden

Europe took another stab at tackling the bloc’s worsening migrant crisis on Sunday as Jean-Claude Juncker called a mini-summit of 11 regional leaders in Brussels. The immediate concern, Juncker contends, is providing shelter for the hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers who have inundated the Balkans en route to what they hope will be a better life in Germany.

So far, Europe has struggled mightily under the weight of the people flows and a plan to place 120,000 asylum seekers based on a quota system met with hostility from some Eastern European nations including Hungary, where PM Viktor Orban has closed the border with both Serbia and Croatia in an effort to, in his words, “preserve the Christian heritage.” Germany’s approach has been to adopt what amounts to an open door policy to migrants and that, in turn, has set off border battles in the Balkans as Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia bicker about the best way to divert the refugees north.

The new “plan” proposed by Merkel and Juncker aims to set up so-called “holding camps” along the Balkan route. The sites will be able to accommodate some 100,000 refugees.

Brussels Plans Refugee “Holding Camps”

Oh my. That doesn't sound politically correct in light of Europe's past.

If they wanted to help these “refugees” they know how to do it. There are plenty of muslim countries and lots of charities that can set up tents and food in muslim countries from Morocco through the middle east. There is no lack of room for refugees in the muslim world.

The European Nationalists are being called far right wingers by all the people in power whether government or media. It is the same everywhere even here in the USA.

Of course it is being covered up and the media and politicians are hurling insults at European Nationalists like the group PEGIDA.

>>They don’t need guns, all they need are a nasty horde and a government that is sympathetic to the muslims.

Yeah. My post #30 basically says that Europe will fight European Nationalists (who are fighting the muzzies) before it will defend itself from the muzzie animals.

With the part the media is playing in this, it’s only a matter of time before they start being seen as collaborators. If civil conflict erupts, they’ll be along for the ride. Just observing.
