The European Commission launched a legal case on Tuesday against Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic for refusing to take in asylum seekers, ratcheting up a bitter feud within the 28-nation bloc about how to deal with migration.
The eurosceptic, nationalist-minded governments in Poland and Hungary have refused to take in anyone under a plan agreed by a majority of EU leaders in 2015 to relocate migrants from frontline states Italy and Greece to help ease their burden.
The Czech Republic, another ex-communist central European state, initially accepted 12 people but has since said it would not welcome more.

This will be the end of Europe as we have known it, tragedy.
I hope Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic prevail and manage to keep their identity.
Putin says it well.

I'm quite sure they didn't sign up for flooding their countries with military-aged men from the Middle East.
Even if they get sanctions, they will still do better than most Western European countries in the long term.

I wonder what they think the sanctions will even do. The EU is a joke internationally.
They'll just get different trade partners. Better trade partners.
Every action the EU takes to strengthen itself makes itself much weaker. The people running it are either retarded or so fanatically ideological that they have no comprehension that their ideas might be terrible.
Personally I think it's a combination of both.

Ah, another racist thread from people who live far away and have all their news from shady youtube-channels and even more racist websites. The best. The best of the best. As usual. And so much more well-informed than people living in said countries.
Well.. On topic:
IF those countries would like to leave the EU, the way to do so is known to everybody, now.
..They won't.
..They get much more out of the EU than they had to invest.
They want to have the privileges without the responsibilities.
If that is admirable to you.., I can't condone it.
What idiots decided it was a good idea to take in millions of perfectly fit economic refugees that should instead be working to make their own countries a better place? Why is it Hungary or Polands responsibility to take care of economic migrants from Africa? Who decided that? Do you have any idea how many migrants there potentially could be? Hundreds of millions of Africans swarming into Europe? And you support that?

Whats happening is they are dragging their new found host countries down to the level of the places the just left, like parasites sucking the life from their new found hosts. I say let em into Hungary and Poland and the Czech Republic, the population there are staunch protectors of their own nation, those economic vampires won't last long.
