The solution to the migrant crisis still seems far away. In the summit between European foreign ministers, scheduled for a Luxembourg during the day, the proposal for a new division, of at least 120 additional migrants, advanced by the European Commission.
A proposal that, even now, promises to cause a clear break between two main blocks. On the one hand, that formed by France and Germany, which has also been joined by Italy, who are asking to review the asylum system, opening up to the redistribution of refugees.
On the other hand, however, the opposing front to the redistribution quotas, formed by the countries of Eastern Europe: Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The comment of the Pentagon, crossed by one of the top leaders of the US Armed Forces Martin Dempsey, according to whom the exodus of migrants and refugees from Syria and North Africa to Europe is "a huge emergency, a real crisis".
A theme, therefore, which has also been addressed and is considered pre-eminent in the USA, which underlines the need for everyone to act "both unilaterally and with allies" to face a crisis which, according to Dempsey, could last "another twenty years".
Meanwhile, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Antonio Guterres, has launched an appeal for the allocation of at least 200 asylum seekers in the European Union and stressed that all EU members should have an obligation to participate in this programme.
“People with a valid protection claim (…) should consequently benefit from a mass relocation programme, with the mandatory participation of all EU member states. A preliminary estimate appears to indicate the potential need to increase resettlement opportunities to 200 places,” Guterres wrote in a statement.
