Today, the Presidents of the European
Council, the Commission and the European Parliament visited the Greek border
with Turkey. The Prime Minister of Greece was their host. The message they put
across is very clear. The European borders are now closed to mass movements. Immigrants
and refugee candidates are not welcome.
The visiting party basically approved
the decision taken by the Greek authorities to use all means available to
enforce the message. This is a clear shift from the policy line followed by
Angela Merkel and others in 2015. It places security and social homogeneity
above any other consideration.
The humanitarian dimension is seen as
a funding activity. The Europeans pay and others will take care of the
refugees. Outside the EU borders. This is the new policy line on mass immigration.
