Germany To Stop Taking Migrants From Italy And Greece

Germany will no longer be accepting relocated asylum seekers from Italy and Greece, reports Die Welt citing the German Interior Ministry.

The decision, announced Monday, ends Germany's participation in an EU relocation agreement launched in the wake of the 2015 migrant crisis. The agreement officially expired on September 26, 2017, and saw Germany take in over one-third of the total refugees distributed under the plan. 

"There are now virtually no more asylum seekers in Greece who could be considered for resettlement," according to the Ministry. To qualify, applicants had to be from a country where the chances of asylum are at least 75 percent.

Last month, some 500 migrants were still waiting to be relocated from Italy to Germany, while in Greece the number less than 40. 

"The relocation scheme ended in September 2017, meaning all applicants arriving after that date will no longer be eligible for resettlement," Annegret Korff, a speaker for the Interior Ministry, said.

"Germany largely completed all outstanding relocations by the end of 2017. In the coming weeks, Germany will only carry out the odd resettlement case that was left outstanding from last year." -DW.com

Based on the massive number immigrants arriving in Germany alone during the height of the migrant crisis - some 1.3 million in 2015 with 890,000 entering Germany, EU member states initially agreed to collectively take in some 160,000 refugees from Greece and Italy.

That number, however, was revised down to 100,000 after officials realized that fewer people were eligible than originally thought. In total, only 33,000 migrants actually took part in the transfer program - with Germany taking in 10,265. 

Migration also fell sharply following the 2015 peak, with just 280,000 migrants arriving in Germany in 2016, and 186,644 asylum seekers last year

Last October, Angela Merkel's CDU and Bavarian CSU sister party agreed to cap Germany's intake of asylum seekers at 200,000 per year. 

“We want to achieve a total number of people taken in for humanitarian reasons (refugees and asylum seekers, those entitled to subsidiary protection, family members, relocation and resettlement minus deportations and voluntary departures of future refugees) that does not exceed 200,000 people a year”.

And in December, 2017 Germany offered rejected asylum-seekers a one-time payment of $3,500 to go home, valid through the end of February

“If you decide by the end of February for a voluntary return, you will get in addition to first aid, a housing aid for the first twelve months in your country of origin,” Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told newspaper Bild am Sonntag.

That said, relocation schemes or not - refugees will continue to pour into Europe from Africa this summer. It is unclear how the EU intends on dealing with future waves of migrants, while a standout coalition of EU members refuse to take in migrants whatsoever. 

Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov - whose country currently heads the EU as part of a six-month rotating EU presidency, said that the current asylum rules "literally split Europe."

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere hinted Berlin was willing to drop its insistence on quotas in order to make progress on asylum policy reform, saying "We will decide on this at the end of the negotiations."

After meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria last Thursday to discuss asylum policy, EU Interior Ministers set a deadline of June to develop a solution. 

What is the current situation? (via DW.com)

  • Current EU migration rules state that asylum requests must be processed in the country where asylum was first requested.
  • This has put a heavy burden on Greece and Italy, the two major entry points to Europe.
  • Proposed changes to the rules would create a permanent mechanism for all EU member states to admit refugees in the event of a new emergency. 
  • The June deadline has been put in place because warm weather during this time tends to increase migrant flows across the Mediterranean.
  • Hungary and its eastern European neighbors, including Poland, have refused to take in refugees since the European Commission pushed through temporary refugee quotas in 2015.
  • Slovakia and the Czech Republic have also been reluctant to accept migrants from other EU countries, citing security concerns.

As the Greek and Italian relocation program draws to a close, and migrant-heavy EU nations such as Sweden, Germany, France suffering from increased crime rates vs. their non-refugee accepting EU counterparts, one has to wonder how much worse this crisis borne of regime change and perpetual war is actually going to become before the financial and civil consequences of a "borderless" Europe result in all out civil war.

"I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive." ~ Barbara Lerner Spectre

"Instead of destroying European Jewry, Europe, against its own will, refined and educated this people into a future leader-nation through this artificial selection process. No wonder that this people, that escaped Ghetto-Prison, developed into a spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore a gracious Providence provided Europe with a new race of nobility by the Grace of Spirit...
The man of the future will be a mongrel.  Today’s races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian–Negroid race of the future, similar in its outward appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals."

How about not getting your balls cut off if you leave?

I think that would be cheaper.

 

Edit: Where are the Spartans in all this?? They are about as useless as Jeff Sessions!

Mufukn Greeks took Egypt for Chrissake and now they're a bunch of hairdressers retiring at 50. WTF?

Greece and Italy are ZOG.  This is clear by the way the (((IMF))) was able to impose bankster "democracy" on them during the PIGS crisis.  Neither country will be able to pull out of this demographic genocide because it is already too late.

The only hope for Northern Europe is to end Schengen.  Immediately.

Low IQ, low skill, low education people require subsidies,

 

in fact they vote for them aka vote Communist for politicians like Merkel, France, the whores of Sweden, and the Marxist Progressives in the US the un-democratic party where Bernie won the Election and Hilary won the selection.

 

If the new voters hate Christians like the Socialist Marxist Progressive so much the better, hatred of the common enemy.

Central and Eastern Europeans need to begin thinking and speaking about a Crusade to free the Christians in Western Europe; before the Governments of Germany, Sweden and France arm the Sunni Hoard and send them East as the European Army.

Who knew?

Feed, house, cloth, pay, free medical, free phone, school them in their native language and continuously shower them with taxpayer largesse -  all for nothing in return - and they will continue to come!

Who could have figured that one out?

I don't believe these figures at all, you only have to go to any major European city to realise the numbers are at least 100 times what the politicians are admitting.  These figures are for the initial applicant, they don't take into account their wives, children and extended families which are allowed to join them.  Make that these figures are at least 1000 times more than the politicians are telling us.

My experience of Germans is that their education system allows (or encourages?) the youth to be students for years - up until almost 30. You then need a few years to find a job, get your feet under the table, get settled with being a wage-earner etc, and then oops, your 35 and better breed pdq if you want to be actually capable. The joys of needing a dual income household just to get by.

Even more insane than the UK, and that's quite a task.

There is alot that pisses me off about all of this but one angle to it that really gets to me is the fact that for 40 years the left has screamed about overpopulation and pollution issues created by too many people...now when the Western populations have reached a point of balance or even decline...they literally use this against them to justify the need to bring in new blood.  

What happened to all their concerns?  Liberals really need to be stopped.

The 200,000 cap isn't really a cap. The paper issued by the CDU/CSU actually stated that if anybody arrives in Germany as a refugee they will not reject or send them back, even if the "cap" has already been reached.

Family reunification is about to begin... so the numbers are going to increase sharply

That's f@@king great, Merkel.  You invite the tossers to your country and leave others to clear up the mess that you created!  I live in Lesvos and there are over 7k here on this island.  Population is 80k.  There are thousands more on the islands of Chios and Kos.  Plus many more on the mainland.  What does the cow expect the Greeks to do with these scum?

 

And what about the 10s of thousands in Italy?

OverTheHedge Casey Stengel Jan 31, 2018 8:32 AM Permalink

Plenty of other islands to move them to. Admittedly not all of them have any infrastructure, water, or trees, but it is at least dry land. Some of it very, very dry.  I believe that would be a better option, because god knows Greece can't afford to feed them all, and if they know that coming to Greece meant indefinite detention in something like a Palestinian refugee camp, perhaps not so many would arrive.

The thousands in Italy* are now Italy's* problem.  Germany is fed up with trying to fob off their arrivals onto other EU member countries so now they're 'closing the doors' and forcing who ever's still on their way to stay where they are.

That's EU democracy for you.

Europe has no borders within it, but has borders in its surroundings.  The reason why refugees are making it onto European soil is not of the border policy but of that of a shipwreck where survivors are taken to the nearest landmass for aid.  Once on soil they ask for asylum.  When they visualize the European coast guard they purposely sink their boats/inflatables and wait to be rescued.  What Europe needs to do is change this policy and not allow immigrants from shipwrecks or not to ask for asylum.  Asylum applications for the EU should be done in neighboring nations within EU offices where the number can be controlled.  Once approved they can legally enter the EU using legal forms of transportation.

Party politics. Merkel wants to govern. For that, she needs the support of the rest of the CDU/CSU. Also the SPD, with which she is trying to form a government, is making concessions regarding the issue of family reunification.

Merkel and the establishment parties don't want new elections. The migration stance of Merkel is backfiring in her face.

Anyway, this new policy will piss off Italy and Greece for sure.

The old days they would bring Slaves by force to US and Europe. Now they bombard the hell out of their countries still their natural resources and make them move as so called Migrants. Simply It's all about Modern Slavery.
