Ban on Balkan Refugees?

Published by:

Ban on Balkan Refugees?

Macedonia is saying the EU is planning a ban on Balkan refugees. This is already the case with the so-called “safe countries” but could be extended to Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro. This would bar Rroma who are discriminated in those countries from seeking asylum and would also deprive the community of a mean to improve their fate in those countries. This only happens if refugees are on the EU’s door.

Argument against Compassion: A Must Read for Counterarguments

Read this… Badly thought arguments, and the way against them on the refugee crisis. The paragraph on Rroma is particularly scary: The argument goes as follows: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria have not managed to integrated their Rroma, so they cannot take on any refugees.

The right way to say it: Nationalistic policies have tried to ethnicise and segregate minorities, and these have failed. Has nothing to do with refugees, and all to do with tolerance.

Migrant Crisis: Orban says there are too many Rroma

Read this … Orban effectively says Hungary cannot take refugees as they have several hundred thousand Gypsies… And that he doesn’t ask anyone to live with such numbers.

15% of Beggars are Bulgarian

The Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister went overboard and demonstrated that he must have been “under the bridge” as on say in the Balkans. 15% of beggars in Sweden are of Bulgarian origins. This is real statistic. If there are 200 beggars there, this is probably a lot.
