Its shameful and deja vu that some of our allies fall in the same trap of “negotiations” which in 1938/39 have lead to 2.WW. Unexperienced negotiators without historic knowledge ready to make deals with Russia about our security without us.

Great powers discussing Europe’s “security architecture” over our heads is precisely what I have long warned against.

If we Europeans want to prevent this, we must be able to take responsibility for our own security.

And if Estonia wants to ensure that Europe does not, deliberately or inadvertently, agree to arrangements that undermine our interests as a frontline state, we must be at the forefront of shaping Europe’s position.

Those who remain silent have no veto. Especially if they are small states.

If this meeting will in any way discuss ending of Ukrainian war without direct participation of victim state Ukraine and its European supporters it will hurt Beijin’s international reputation and make it ally of possible Pact (deal) similar to 23.08.1939 called Hitler-Stalin Pact

Interesanti, ko darīja Latvijas iepriekšējā valdība, ja starp valstīm, kuras varēs neuzņemt “kvotas migrantus” ir Igaunija, kurai nav migrantu hibrīduzbrukumi, bet nav Latvijas! Bieži dzirdam, ka vēlamies kopīgus Baltijas lēmumus un kad tādu nav, tad nevaram lemt, Igauņi gan var!

BREAKING:

The European Commission announced today which countries are under “migratory pressure” and will be able to send away some of their asylum seekers to other EU states under the “migrant relocation quotas” created by the EU’s new Migration Pact. The countries are:

🇪🇸 Spain
🇮🇹 Italy
🇬🇷 Greece
🇨🇾 Cyprus

These 4 countries will be able to put asylum seekers into a “Solidarity Pool” for 2027 from which migrants will then be relocated in other EU states.

The size of the Solidarity Pool was decided today but the information about it is being kept secret for now.

6 countries were classified as facing a “significant migratory situation” and will be allowed to request from exemptions of receiving quota migrants. Those 6 countries are:

🇵🇱 Poland
🇨🇿 Czechia
🇭🇷 Croatia
🇦🇹 Austria
🇧🇬 Bulgaria
🇪🇪 Estonia

To receive an exemption, the country’s request has to pass a QMV vote (Qualified Majority Voting) in the Council of the European Union.

Countries which are forced to take part in the Solidarity Pool will either have to take in the number of quota migrants assigned to them by the EU, pay EUR 21 000 for every quota migrant they refuse to receive or send significant resources to help the 4 countries under migratory pressure to handle the situation.

Two countries have refused to take part in the entire new migrant relocation system and its fines. Those two countries are:

🇭🇺 Hungary
🇸🇰 Slovakia

Cik ilgi gaidīsim, kad blīvāk apdzīvotās vietās Latvijā tiks celtas patvertnes? Tāpat varam mācīties no Izraēlas, kur nepieciešams, autobusu pieturas padarīt šķembu izturīgas.
