The beginning of the end, or the start of something new?
From today, refugees and migrants who arrived in Greece after 20th March will be returned to Turkey as the result of last month’s widely-criticised deal. This latest attempt to ‘solve’ the migration crisis will likely see images screened around the world of the European authorities ‘being tough’ on those who arrive illegally. It is hoped that this will send a message to refugees and migrants that they are no longer welcome in Europe. At the same time, European leaders hope to show their own electorates that they can be trusted to manage the EU’s borders.
