Slovakia should have never left the EU’s list of backsliding countries but instead we have returned to the regular expression of concerns cycle aka all talk no action…

When the UK gov. a couple of years ago launched the idea of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda, many in the EU saw this as a controversial, radical step to take.

Well, it’s now a mainstream position. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Europe’s appalling mistreatment of immigrants and refugees, and its moral passivity at horrors and deaths in The Med, should be a historic stain on all of our consciences.

Asylum: EU Parliament votes for easier deportation to third countries

Soon people will also be able to be deported to non-EU countries so that they can apply for asylum there. For the first time there will be an EU-wide list of safe countries of origin.

Asylum policy: Migrants will soon be sent to countries they've never seen

Approach to the Rwanda model: Christian Democrats and Conservatives in the EU Parliament again form a majority with the right-wing factions. The SPD and Greens speak of a hollowing out of the rights of asylum seekers.

This means that at least as far as the European Parliament is concerned, a core tenet of the EU's migration policy is now co-decided by the far-right, including its most extreme elements in the ESN, like the German AfD.

personally I would like EU freedom of movement back but in the absence of that there presumably has to be some form of selection so then the question is what and how. But since you think my colleagues at OMO are ‘biased’ I suspect I shan’t convince you.
