Poland's new Prime Minister says her country will refuse to take in 4,500 refugees as part of an EU quota blaming the Paris terror attacks.
Beata Szydlo said her gov
ernment was not prepared to accept the quota system, saying the massacres in the French capital had 'changed the situation.'

Hundreds of thousands of people have reached Europe as Syrian refugees in recent months, including at least one using a passport found at the scene of one of the Paris attacks.

Migrant crisis could destroy the euro, warns Juncker: Collapse of the Schengen zone means a single currency 'makes no sense', he admits

The single currency will be jeopardised if Europe's passport-free Schengen zone collapses, Jean-Claude Juncker has warned.
The 26-member zone has come under immense pressure as hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa stream across the continent.

With Greece in particular struggling to contain the human tide, countries from Hungary in the south to Denmark in the north have put up temporary border controls to stem the flows, making passport-free travel harder than at any time in decades.
But the European Commission President said allowing the Schengen system to erode with member states reimposing border controls could have consequences for the euro.

'If the spirit of Schengen leaves our lands and our hearts, we will lose more than Schengen. A single currency makes no sense if Schengen falls.

'It is one of the keystones of European construction,' he said, addressing the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

'The Schengen system is partially comatose,' Juncker added. 'Those who believe in Europe and its values, in its principles and freedoms must try - and try they will - to reanimate the Schengen spirit.'

Juncker's statement was primarily political in its significance, since the Schengen zone, wich has 22 members from within the EU and four from outside it, is legally distinct from the 19-member euro zone.

However, his warning reflected growing concern at EU headquarters in Brussels that intra-EU tensions over the migrant crisis could herald a broader foundering of the post-World War Two war drive for European unity.

Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel drew parallels between the difficulties faced by the Schengen and euro systems, saying quotas for distributing refugees around the EU were needed as part of 'political solutions' to preserve Schengen.

'A distribution of refugees according to economic strength and other conditions ... and the readiness for a permanent distribution mechanism ... will determine whether the Schengen area will hold in the long term,' she said.

Europe is stretched to it limits and cannot take in any more migrants, according to the French Prime Minister.
And in a veiled shot at German leader Angela Merkel, who said refugees were welcome in Europe, Manuel Valls said that it wasn't France that 'told them to come'.

Europe is grappling with its worst refugee crisis since the Second World War with almost one million refugees expected to arrive by the end of the year.

But in an interview with German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Mr Valls said: 'We cannot accomodate any more refugees in Europe, that's not possible', adding that tighter external border controls would determine the fate of the EU.

'If we don't do that, the people will say "enough is enough", Valls warned.

The comments were published only hours before German Chancellor Angela Merkel was scheduled to meet French President Francois Hollande in Paris.

Merkel was initially celebrated at home and abroad for her welcoming approach to the refugees, many of whom are fleeing conflict in the Middle East.

But as the flow has continued the chancellor has come under increasing criticism.

Some conservatives say Merkel's decision to open up Germany's borders to Syrian refugees in September has spurred more migrants to come.

The refugee debate has become more politically charged after the deadly attacks in Paris that stoked fears ISIS militants could exploit the migrant crisis to send extremists to Europe.

Mr Valls avoided criticising Merkel directly for having suspended European asylum rules to allow in Syrian refugees stranded in Hungary but said France was taken by surprise by the German leader's decision.

He added: 'Germany has made an honourable choice there.
'But it was not France that said: Come!'

But despite the criticism, Mrs Merkel told Germany's lower house today that she would be standing by her open doors policy.
In a nod to critics in her conservative party, especially in Bavaria, where most of the migrants enter Germany, she said that migrants who do not need protection must be sent home.

'But simply sealing ourselves off will not solve the problem,' she said.

Merkel repeated her 'we will cope' mantra and reiterated her argument that Europe must tackle the causes of the crisis by working for peace in Syria and engaging Turkey as a partner in the refugee crisis.

She countered politicians in some countries who have warned that the refugee crisis has exposed problems in Europe's Schengen passport-free area, saying that states must develop it further by agreeing on migrant quotas.

'A distribution of refugees according to economic strength and other conditions ... and the readiness for a permanent distribution mechanism ... will determine whether the Schengen area will hold in the long term,' she said.

Meanwhile new Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said her government was not prepared to accept 4,500 new refugees, saying the Paris terror attacks had 'changed the situation.'

Mrs Szydlo said: 'After Paris, the situation has changed.

'We will be proposing to sit down at a table and think over, whether the solutions which have been proposed are good.
'In our view, we are not prepared to accept those quotas of refugees.'

Migrants try to break through Greece-Macedonia border

REPORTfrom Agence France-Presse Published on 26 Nov 2015

Idomeni, Greece | AFP | Thursday 11/26/2015 - 15:45 GMT

Over 200 migrants on Thursday tried to break through barbed wire fences on Greece's border with Macedonia, throwing stones at police, AFP reporters said.

At least five of the migrants managed to get across in the assault as the crowd shouted "Open the border" to the Macedonia police ranged across them.

All five were returned to the Greek side by Macedonian police.

Since last week, Macedonia has restricted passage to northern Europe to only Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans who are considered war refugees. All other nationalities are deemed economic migrants and told to turn back.

Some 800 people are stuck on the border, mostly Iranians, Moroccans, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis.

They have spent days at Idomeni sleeping on the ground, with humanitarian organisations struggling to provide basic sanitation and shelter.

Grčka protiv zatvaranja granica za izbeglice uprkos infiltriranju džihadista

Grčke vlasti saopštile su večeras da infiltriranje džihadista među izbeglice ne bi trebalo da bude opravdanje za zatvaranje granica.



"Problem treba da se reši u ratnim zonama, ono što uzrokuje odlazak ljudi", rekao je zamenik grčkog ministra unutrašnjih poslova Nikos Toskas u izjavi Frans presu.

Najmanje dva bombaša samoubica teroristiških napada u Parizu 13. novembra ušla su kao izbeglice u Evropsku uniju (EU) preko Grčke.

"Grčka je protiv dizanja ograda i zatvaranja granica", rekao je Toskas i dodao da ne treba stavljati "etiketu terorizma" svim izbeglicama.

Hans-Georg Maasen, a federal police chief, has said that jihadists from Iraq and Syria are exploiting the migrant crisis, and Europe’s open borders to infiltrate and plot ‘combat missions’.
Maasen told reporters that police in Germany are tracking up to 8,000 ‘combat-hardened professional’ Islamic extremists in Germany alone, adding that his department receives multiple ‘fairly concrete tips’ of planned terrorist activity every week now.
The claims dovetail with news that German special forces have arrested two men in a Berlin raid accused of plotting “a significant criminal act against state security.”
The men were arrested as police swooped upon an Islamic cultural center, in the Britz section of Berlin.

EU direktive anarho-kapitalizma nameću lokalnim vladama...

Ako ne znaš što je to, zašto spominješ anarho-kapitalizam?

Previše se uzbuđujete oko migranata. Nek' napune Njemačku, što se to nas tiče?

Situacija je idealna jer otvara vrata Hrvatskoj da sa svojim sigurnosnim aparatom uđe u BiH i to predstavi Europi kao dobročinstvo, da skroji protektorat po svojoj mjeri, koristeći pritom i resurse drugih srednjoeuropskih država koje su zainteresirane za suradnju na tom polju (Mađarska, Češka, Slovačka, Poljska, Litva, Slovenija) kao dodatni alibi.

Zatvaranje migracije kroz Hrvatsku moguće je jedino kontrolom granica BiH, koja ionako nije država već protektorat, a tu je i borba protiv terorizma koji je uzeo maha. Sve je na dohvat ruke, kada bi Pereci htjeli i umjeli.

Orban: EU i Turska potpisale tajni sporazum o izbeglicama

Evropska unija i turski lideri možda će, tokom nedelje, objaviti tajni sporazum koji predviđa da se iz Turske u EU preseli između 400.000 i 500.000 sirijskih izbeglica, rekao je premijer Mađarske Viktor Orban.

Viktor Orban je dodao da ukoliko je postignut tajni sporazum da EU prihvati te izbeglice, to bi izvršilo ogroman pritisak na Mađarsku i druge zemlje Višegradske grupe.

"Ne samo da žele da dovedu te ljude u Evropu već žele i da ih odmah preraspodele među državama članicama i da to ima obavezujuću snagu", rekao je Orban. On je istakao da Mađarska to neće prihvatiti, prenosi MTI.

Orban je dodao da je sporazum već pomenut na nedavnom samitu EU na Malti, ali se tada od njega odustalo i on nije uključen u sporazume između EU i Turske potpisane tokom vikenda u Briselu jer njegovi zagovornici nisu mogli da obezbede neophodnu podršku, preneo je Rojters.
