By Markus Salzmann: The brutality of the right-wing government in
Skopje is a sharp expression of the inhumane policy that all European
governments follow against refugees. A veritable competition has opened
up between the various governments in dealing with refugees as
abhorrently as possible so that they move on to other countries. The
refugee crisis is also deliberately exploited to mobilize right-wing
forces and distract attention from domestic and foreign policy crises.
This assumes particularly repulsive forms in the Balkans, where the governments operate as stooges of the EU.
