Re: Unstoppable migration?
An interesting take on Euro-woes:
Quote:
For the past 10 days, Europe's leaders have been engaged in a bout of gloom.
They openly admit Europe has lost control of the migrant crisis, and they fear for the future of the European project itself.
◾French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said: "Europe could lose its historical footing, and the project could die quickly. Things could fall apart in months"
◾German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said: "If the Schengen system [of border free travel] is destroyed, Europe will be seriously endangered"
◾Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Europe's leaders had only "six to eight weeks to save Schengen"
◾European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker talked of a "last chance" for Europe. "Without Schengen, the euro has no point," he said
◾ German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: "No-one can pretend that you can have a common currency without being able to cross borders relatively easily"
