Enquanto o apoio a
Merkel diminui a cada dia que passa, com muitas críticas internas e
aumento explicito do extremismo, também na Suécia , o caos em toda
a Europa está definitivamente instalado.
As tensões Norte /
Sul – Leste / Oeste aumentam e confirmam-se diáriamente .
Imaginar que as
consequências políticas desta crise na Europa não irão ser
gravíssimas, é cegueira para as ondas de choque que se irão manter
e irresponsabilidade de liderança.

Refugee
crisis: Slovenia calls in army to help patrol borders
Government
passes legislation early on Wednesday boosting security presence on
border with Croatia

Slovenia on Tuesday
called in the army to help it manage refugees seeking to reach
northern Europe before winter, as the small EU state became the
latest trouble spot on the migrant trail.
The Slovenian
government amended the country’s defence law early on Wednesday to
allow soldiers to join border police in patrolling the 670-kilometre
border with Croatia, and said it would ask for financial backup from
the EU to deal with numbers that have “exceeded all manageable
possibilities”.
Since Saturday, when
Hungary sealed off its border with Croatia, more than 19,460 migrants
have arrived in Slovenia, a nation of two million people.
Under the new
measures approved by parliament, Slovenian soldiers can assist police
in patrolling the border, detain people and hand them over to police,
and issue orders to civilians in the border area.
Until now, the army
could provide only technical and logistical support to police.
With at least 9,000
people landing on Europe’s beaches every day, there appeared to be
no end in sight to the continent’s biggest migration wave since the
second world war.
The Slovenian
government said: “The last 24 hours have been the toughest and most
demanding since the start of the crisis”, and warned it was
“delusional” to expect small countries to succeed where larger
ones had failed.
The prime minister,
Miro Cerar, told journalists on the sidelines of the parliamentary
session it would also ask the bloc for backup from police forces in
other EU countries and extra equipment for its own officers.
The EU commissioner
for migration, Dimitris Avramopoulos, is expected to visit Slovenia
on Thursday to discuss the request.
In Greece, the
crisis showed no sign of abating with a clear “spike in arrivals”
that left 27,500 people packed on the Greek islands by Tuesday
morning, the United Nations said.
And thousands were
left stranded in wet, freezing weather on Croatia’s frontier with
Serbia, after travelling up through Greece and Macedonia.
More than 600,000
migrants and refugees, mainly fleeing violence in Syria, Iraq and
Afghanistan, have braved the dangerous journey to Europe so far this
year.
The trip that many
have made on inflatable boats from Turkey to Greece has left more
than 3,000 dead or missing.
The goal for many is
the EU’s biggest economy, Germany, which expects to take in up to
one million refugees this year.
In September, the EU
announced plans to relocate 120,000 asylum seekers from overstretched
frontline states Italy and Greece by means of a compulsory quota
system that was fiercely opposed by some eastern members of the bloc.
The plan requires
most of the 28 member states to accept a share of 160,000 people from
the two Mediterranean nations over two years.
So far only 19
Eritrean asylum seekers have been relocated from Italy to Sweden
although another 100 people are due to be flown to other cities in
the coming days.
Member states have
also been slow to follow up with promised financial help – out of
the €2.8bn ($3.2bn) pledged at an emergency EU summit on 23
September, only about €474m has materialised.
In a related
development, the EU’s border agency said member states had provided
less than half the personnel it had requested to help in
overstretched locations in Greece and Italy.
