The proposal by Federal Minister of the Interior Faeser to set a good example by forming a "coalition of the willing" to take in refugees is earning praise in Brussels. Since the refugee movement in 2015, the EU has been discussing a reform of the common European asylum system, which should also ensure a fairer distribution of protection seekers in the EU member states. However, the reform has repeatedly failed due to the resistance of Eastern European countries in particular, which do not want to take in more refugees. read more

Two years after the violent crackdown on citizens in Chios and Lesvos who oppose the transformation of the islands into prisons for refugees and migrants, dissatisfaction with the refugee response is growing. The narrative of successful management of refugees (border security, decongestion of the islands, fast registration and identification procedures) promoted by the government does not seem to convince the islanders, who see huge new structures being built despite the decrease in the refugee population on the islands. Legal disputes, dozens of decisions of political groups, bodies and mass peaceful demonstrations unite people across different political positions once again against the government policy and the EU’s dictates for “superstructures” on the Eastern Aegean islands. read more
