«No Muslims in Europe», warned the Slovakian premier

Migration, there we go again. The European Union is very close to experience another big crisis over the migratory phenomenon, with the Slovakian prime minister, Robert Fico, reiterating that «Islam has no place» in the country. As Slovakia is holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU the 1st of July, it appears clear the dossier is going to encounter the political block from the eastern European countries led by Slovakia until the end of the year, in a moment of a possible new emergency given the good weather. The European Commission made a proposal to set up a binding permanent mechanism of relocation of asylum seekers, amid the contrariety of the same Slovakia whose government had announced to refer the European Commission decision to the European Court of Justice. «I think it is the duty of politicians to talk about this openly and clearly. I do not wish tens of thousands of Muslims coming here and promoting their own stuff», said Fico. According to him the real problem is posed by the cultural difference of coming people, and he used the Joseph Muscat's to express it. «I talked about it several times with the Maltese prime minister and he said the problem was not in migrants coming in, but rather in them changing the face of the country». Not a good mood for Europe, considering that Malta will hold the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU immediately after Slovakia. Considering also the unpredictable Turkish leader, always capable to change his mind and put in question the EU-Turkey deal on migration, perspectives are not the best ones for Europe. The never ending story of migration could offer a new chapter very soon.
