When it comes to migration policy and treating asylum seekers, the EU has three solutions:
- Sticking one’s head in the sand.
- Sticking one’s head up the arse.
- Build high deadly walls with nails of denial.
It is clear that with global warming and democracy under attack, more people will have to abandon their homes and come to regions like Europe. If I were them, I’d do the same.
But the most distressing fact is that Europe is in denial and believes that populism and xenophobia will help keep the people who are knocking at our doors out. No, populism or Frontex will not secure our borders.
Finland’s answer, like that of Europe’s Frontex, to climate refugees is a fence, wishful thinking, and the populist rhetoric of politicians. Source: Kauppalehti.
Europe is walking into a disaster of its own making caused by its colonial legacy, contempt, and racism.
