Jihad Watch previously reported that the European Commission president proposed new EU asylum rules to force member states to take migrants. Only they weren’t so new, since the EU has never wavered in its globalist agenda and favoring of the UN Migration Pact. The migrant agenda was only temporarily put on hold because of the coronavirus. And even so, migrants continued to flow into EU countries.
As reported previously:
Expect tensions, and possibly even a showdown, as von der Leyen drives her agenda. “Hungary has long resisted proposals to redistribute migrants in the EU and is likely one of the countries that will object to changing the asylum rules. The Austrian government has also made it clear that it will not accept new migrants.”
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is also resisting the “EU Migrant Redistribution Policy,” which would see the abolition of the Dublin Agreement. The Dublin Agreement is an EU law stating that “asylum seekers must apply for asylum in the first European Union member state they enter.” To abolish it amounts to legitimizing illegal migration and forcing member states to accept economic migrants. Sebastian Kurz has spoken of the chaos stemming from the first wave of migrants into the EU, and he is vowing resistance.
Kurz also stated:
The European Union is more than just Germany and France… As a small or medium-sized state, of course, one has to always look for alliances, and in an EU with 27 member-states one can only assert ideas if there are others that support them.
The encroachment upon the sovereignty of EU member states will also be firmly resisted by Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland, which have all stood up to the EU in past.
“EU asylum-seeker distribution won’t work: Austria’s Kurz,” AFP, September 22, 2020:
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz warned Tuesday against any attempt to force EU countries to take in asylum-seekers as the European Commission prepared to unveil a new strategy for handling migration to the bloc.
Speaking to AFP in an exclusive interview, Kurz alluded to previous efforts by the European Commission to introduce mandatory quotas for refugees for all EU members, which were rejected by many eastern and central European countries.
“We find that the distribution in Europe (of asylum seekers) has failed and many states reject this. It won’t work like this,” he said….
“We can only solve this topic all together… Better protection of the (EU’s) outer borders, a joined fight against smugglers, but also joined aid where it is needed (in countries where refugees come from), that is the path that is needed,” the 34-year-old conservative leader said….
