First modification:
For several years, the bloc’s countries have been divided over immigration policy. The biggest changes in this regard began in the midst of the 2016 refugee crisis, when millions of people entered the European Union through the Greek and Italian coasts as a result of the war in Syria. The majority’s goal was to reach Germany following former Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door policy, which promised to take in all people fleeing the war.
The images of thousands of refugees crossing the borders of Europe traveled the world, but also caused great mistrust between countries. Many criticized that they could not take care of so many people, racist slogans increased in Germany and populism also increased.
Refugees continued to arrive and the European Commission approved compulsory quotas for the reception of people. Migrants who arrived in Italy or Greece could be placed in other European countries to start a new life. But the measure did not work, the vast majority of countries did not accept even a third of the refugees, while others like Hungary directly did not accept the entry of any. Tensions began to rise and the measure was buried.
Now the European Commission has proposed a new system focused, above all, on speeding up the returns of migrants to their countries of origin when they do not have the right to asylum. But the measure does not convince the governments and has been blocked for a year.
