Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico called the EU's approach to migration 'amazing hypocrisy' Friday evening, noting that many countries allowed mass illegal immigration only a few years ago and now face serious crises. The remarks, reported by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, continue Fico's criticism of EU migration policy.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico continued his criticism of European Union migration policy Friday evening, calling the bloc's stance 'amazing hypocrisy' in remarks reported by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig. Fico said many EU countries and representatives allowed illegal immigrants to enter en masse just a few years ago, thereby creating serious crises.
The statement follows an earlier comment by Fico reported by The Zioneer earlier today (Fri 20:48), in which he accused many EU countries of hypocrisy on migration and expressed opposition to excluding Spain from the Schengen Area. Fico's remarks are part of an ongoing debate within the EU over migration policy, sparked by the recent influx of tens of thousands of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
The comments come as EU leaders grapple with the fallout from the Ceuta crisis, which has drawn sharp criticism of the bloc's migration framework from several member states.
