EU launches legal action against 3 countries
refusing refugees, by Ann Corcoran, 6/14/17
Invasion of Europe news….President
Trump is going to Poland on July 6th. Time could not be better! (Trump visiting
PNA in September 2016.)
Here is a short bit at the Independent: The European Commission says it is launching legal action against the
Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland for failing to take in refugees under a
legally binding sharing plan agreed by the European Union.
The Commission said Tuesday in a
statement that it has repeatedly urged the three countries to relocate refugees
or at least pledge to do so.
But it said they have not taken
action “in breach of their legal obligations,” and that it “has decided to
launch infringement procedures” on Wednesday.
A longer article at The Guardian says this. Sure looks like nobody wants to take in
more refugees. Gee, I wonder why!
Out of 160,000 refugees due to be taken under the scheme agreed in
2015, only 20,869 have been relocated. In theory, countries can be fined for
every refugee in the quota they fail to accept.
