The refugee crisis is affecting tens of thousands of people in situations not of their own making.<br />Europe should step up to the plate.<br /><br />As we have discussed here often, the Greek are stellar examples of how human beings should treat refugees, despite their own financial crises.<br /><br />Folks I talk to here are from Corfu and have relatives there. They say the pension cuts on small pensions are really hurting families.<br /><br />I don't know how Tsipras can make the comparison of Greece's revolution to Cuba's; maybe he means the gaining of independence. Who knows?<br /><br />My sympathy is to all the refugees and the Greeks and Italians who are suffering from the economic crisis.<br />It's shameful how Europe has handled the refugee crisis, especially the wealthier countries.<br /><br />Well, we're still dealing with the aftermath of the Nov. 8 end of the world. Everyone I know is watching movies, reading comfort books and gaining weight from eating comfort foods. All are realizing we're not living in a dream; the nightmare is real. All of it, and it continues with each appointment or Twitter from you-know-who.<br />I even fear for civil liberties for the press and every dissenter and protester.

The recent decision of the EU (as announced by the Greek (!) chair of the appropriate commission) to fall back on its Dublin accord and remand all migrants arriving since March back to their first EU nation of entry into the EU for asylum processing will only increase the suffering and chaos on those least able to deal with the crisis. This is the largest migration since WWII and Europe isn't stepping up to the plate.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.com
