“Stopping The Influx Of “Migrants” Is Now A Question Of Survival For Europe” Austrian Interior Minister Leitner And Hung...

Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Austrian Interior Minister

As we have pointed out throughout the course of the European Union’s (i.e. Germany’s) suicide attempt to import as many people from the Middle East and Africa into Europe as boats can carry, the only common sense in Europe has come from the eastern nations. Finally, Austria, a “western” European nation with long historical ties to the east and to Hungary, a nation she formerly ruled has finally stood with Hungary in saying that the “migrants” must be stopped or else it is suicide for Europe. Via the UK Daily Mail:

‘We have to reduce the influx now. This is a question of survival for the EU,’ Austrian interior minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said after the talks. Austria believes measures are necessary because the EU has failed to get off the ground any effective common response to the continent’s biggest refugee crisis since 1945.

‘We want to generate pressure so that the EU can reach a solution. A partnership with Balkan countries is not only in the interest of these countries but also of the EU. We want to generate pressure and urgency,’ Mrs Mikl-Leitner said.

A joint statement from the participants said that after hundreds of thousands of people trekked through the Balkans last year, many ending up in Germany, Sweden and also Austria, the inflow must be ‘massively reduced’.

Hungary’s prime minister yesterday called a referendum on whether his country would accept an EU plan to share out refugees that he warned would ‘redraw Europe’s ethnic, cultural and religious identity’.

Viktor Orban said the scheme to relocate 160,000 people was ‘nothing but an abuse of power’.

The Hungarian government attempted to stop the introduction of the quota system in September but it was outvoted at a summit in Brussels.

Mr Orban said yesterday: ‘We cannot make above the heads of people, against the wishes of European people, decisions that seriously change their lives, and the lives of future generations. The quota could redraw Europe’s ethnic, cultural and religious identity. Neither Brussels nor any other European body is authorised to do that.’
