EU jackassery on steroids……
The European Commission is set to declare on Wednesday that Turkey has broadly met the criteria for early visa liberalization in a blaze of last-minute legislation and ask EU governments and the European Parliament to approve the decision by the end of June, several EU sources said.
“We have not lowered our standards. Turkey has raised its game,” a senior EU official familiar with the negotiations said.
This is pure bunk, but a docile public is what they’ve achieved so it will fly through without much of a reaction from the majority of the drones.
EU set to drive forward visas for Turks in migrant deal
Despite deep public misgivings in some countries, the European Union will this week drive forward a plan to grant Turks visa-free travel to Europe as a reward for having reduced a flood of refugees and migrants into Europe to a trickle.
The European Commission is set to declare on Wednesday that Turkey has broadly met the criteria for early visa liberalization in a blaze of last-minute legislation and ask EU governments and the European Parliament to approve the decision by the end of June, several EU sources said.
“We have not lowered our standards. Turkey has raised its game,” a senior EU official familiar with the negotiations said.
He was seeking to explain how the EU executive could certify compliance after telling lawmakers just two weeks ago that Ankara had met fewer than half the so-called benchmarks.
The political reality is that Brussels cannot say “No” and risk a collapse of a much criticized March 18 EU-Turkey deal that was a turning point in Europe’s migration crisis.
It may lack political support to sustain a “Yes”, but the Turkish government won’t take “Later” for an answer.
So in the time-honoured EU manner, the Commission will present a package aimed at offering something for everyone.
These monsters sold our butts to the devil.. Follow the money!
