Austria should be ostracized!
If anyone has failed in their duty during this crisis it is the countries who are NOT sharing the responsibility for the migrant crisis. What a selfish bunch of sauerkrauts.
Athens withdrew its ambassador to Austria on Thursday in a sign of the mounting acrimony between EU countries over the bloc’s failed refugee policies, a fight that increasingly risks destroying the continent’s passport-free travel zone.In a statement announcing the decision, Greece’s foreign ministry accused the Austrian government of taking unilateral action outside of EU rules and recent agreements by capping the number of asylum seekers that it will accept across its southern border, writes Peter Spiegel in Brussels.
The move by Vienna has angered several member states, particularly Germany, who believe it was a direct violation of principles agreed by Austria’s chancellor, Werner Faymann, at recent EU summits. Although Vienna is capping daily asylum applications to 80, it is freely allowing as many as 3,200 refugees per day to pass through Austria en route to Germany.
Neither Germany nor Greece were invited to the Vienna meeting. “Responsibility for dealing with the migration and refugee crisis cannot weigh on one country alone,” Mr Kotzias said. “Common sense dictates that effective handling of this complex problem should be governed by the principles of solidarity and fair burden sharing. Greece is working in such a direction.”
