'Not our Europe': Macron and Sánchez slam 'ineffective' return hubs for migrants
"I don't know if these are the fundamental principles on which our Europe was built," Emmanuel Macron said as he strongly criticized the increasingly popular project to build return hubs for rejected asylum seekers.
At least there are a few left that don't hop on the far-right train.
Is there nothing learned form history?
Yes, it's good that a few stand up for the right thing, but Pedro Sanchez is just standing up for himself. He has been attempting to sell Spain to China, a government not famous exactly for its positive human rights record (thankfully he was not always successful in this, but the Spanish judicial wiretap system now depends on Huawei). And the corruption scandals surrounding family members (like his brother; his wife just got banned from leaving the country) and close political allies have been piling up in recent years and months.
Sanchez talking about human rights and the rule of law feels like satire.

Populistic right wing idea doesn't work. What a surprise.
In the next coming decade climate change is going to cause the number of immigrants to increase. Of course it won't make economic sense to place all these people in camps outside our walled garden of Europe. The bill for that is only going to increase. What kind of "final solution" are the right wing going to come up with to solve that?
No, we need these people to integrate and become tax paying citizens. The current attempts at this are seemingly failing for a large part, so we need to rethink the approach. Not simply by creating more and more arbitrary requirements from the immigrants, but also by encouraging more acceptance from our own populations.
So Macron and Sanchez hold the universal truth.
If you want to put your opinions where your mouths are, do an EU referendum, no matter how costly and let the people decide. Unfortunately for you I believe you'd be proven wrong.
