The
Balkans route, as it is known, is now closed to the immigrants stuck in Greece.
The Macedonian government got the message well before the European media and
public opinion. That´s why they decided to prevent people from crossing. And if
we look carefully at what they have been doing during the last week, we can say
that they have also been informed that Iraqi people as well as Syrians from
Damascus will not be accepted any longer as refugees. This means the EU approach
is becoming much narrower. Fine. But the big question is about what to do with
the tens of thousands of people from those areas and from elsewhere, Afghanistan,
North Africa, Iran, etc, etc, that are already in Greek soil? Repatriation? How
fast can that go before it has a dissuasive impact on those getting ready to
cross the sea from Turkey?
