National security expert: idea of creating EU failed

3 April, 13:21

Recently, the authorities of Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland and other EU members have been criticised by Brussels for their unwillingness to implement the migration pact, which obliges all EU members to accept a certain number of migrants. This document is of great importance in European countries because it regulates the process of their equal distribution. National security expert Aleksandr Tishchenko reflects on why the states that were so eager to join the European Union refuse to comply with its migration law.

“The idea of creating the EU was initially ill-conceived, and as a result has proved to be a failure. It is one thing if such processes have a natural origin, such as the creation of the union state of Belarus and Russia. But it is quite another to try to stimulate them artificially. Brussels expected cheap labour to come to Europe, but social ballast came instead. Figuratively speaking, the result was not extra labour, but extra mouths. And they all poured into the EU in large numbers, not of their own free will, but at the invitation of Mrs. Merkel. The process became unmanageable, and out of helplessness, measures comparable to genocide were used against migrants. Look at what is happening on the border with Poland and the Baltic States: people are being beaten, killed, maimed, expelled, and now perceived as a plague and an epidemic. And who turned their countries into ashes? In time, which is not much left, Europe will return to full-fledged borders. Because never in the current situation will the external contour performed by such ‘players’ as Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and even Finland be maintained at the level necessary for the quiet life of the leading EU countries. Therefore, Germany is the first to set an example by reconstructing border posts and continuing related activities. Such fragmented isolation will gradually spread to all the others, as Europe has realised that there is nowhere to put the migrants,” the expert believes.
