The hypocrisy of the European
Union can be identified more and more easily on various serious
issues like the ongoing economic crisis and the refugee problem.
After failing to deal with the huge problem of refugee flows, EU
officials know who to blame for almost everything: the easiest
victim, scapegoat and eurozone's debt colony called Greece.

Conditions for asylum seekers on
Greek islands are "untenable", says the European
Commission, amid a heavy snow fall that has left many exposed to the
freezing weather. Refugees woke up to snow covered encampments, such
as Moria on Lesbos island, without heating over the weekend despite
recent assurances from the Greek government that nobody would be left
out in the cold.
Asked to comment by reporters in
Brussels on Monday (9 January), the commission said it was ready to
help fund accommodation centres but that the Greek government was
responsible for the camps.
"We can no more dictate
policy in Greece than we can in any other member state,"
said commission spokeswoman Natasha Bertaud. "I have to be
quite clear here, the commission is aware that the situation is
untenable but we also have to be clear as I was saying that ensuring
adequate reception conditions in Greece is a responsibility of Greek
authorities,” she added.
A first, simple question one can
ask is: just when the EU officials intend to fund accommodation
centres in Greece? What are they waiting for? The end of the heavy
winter perhaps?
The EU hypocrites who supposedly
care about the living conditions of the refugees in Greece in the
middle of a heavy winter, have failed to find a viable solution for
the refugee problem. They have failed to deliver responsibilities to
other EU members in order to relief the heavily hit by the economic
crisis Greece, or other countries under big refugee flows, like
Italy.
All they did was to dump the
desperate people in Greece, get rid of the problem and their
responsibilities, while at the same time, sitting and watching other
members closing their borders without any mood for cooperation in
this 'remarkable' union.
And do you think that hypocrisy
ends here? Just read the statements. EU commission says that Greece
is actually solely responsible for the refugees: "We can no
more dictate policy in Greece ...", yet, concerning the
Greek debt crisis, EU commission is one of the Troika members, along
with the ECB and the IMF, who dictated Greece to take the most
catastrophic measures that completely ruined the economy.
The IMF-manufactured Greek
experiment is entering its seventh year now and Troika wants to be
implemented in every detail. Well, after its completion, maybe EU
will allow its ruined debt colony to get some money and build some
appropriate accommodation centres for the refugees.
