most of your european partners feel contempt for Germany (or rather merkel) for the insane 'Wir schaffen das' lapsus.

Yeah, it was naive from her to expect anything from our "partners".

it was stupid of her to play solo-slim, brazenly announcing that Germany'll 'fix' it without any need for 'partners'

She didnt.

she sure did.

Then it won't be difficult to bring up the quote.

Apparently Sweden plans to deport up to 80,000 rejected refugees.

Stuff like that doesn't even surprise me anymore. Many people are only OK with freedom of expression as long as they agree with the message and aren't the target of it.

As a member of the government party ("liberal") said about the Guardian: "Yes, of course they can print it, but I'm also allowed to express my utter and complete disdain over this horrendous newspaper."

Isn't that how free speech is supposed to work?

Edit: Ah ok that is what you were saying 

Now they "strongly recommend" the Guardian to apologize for the cartoon (something they themselves refused to even consider during the cartoon crisis). This is turning out to be more entertaining than I had expected, Danish companies are in panic over the extremely poor PR this brings, though.

At least Danish cartoonist are having a good time.

CNN and NPR has been interviewing party members from the Danish People's Party and their reaction to the casual racism are hilarious and so very sad. It's what we've been living with for 20 years.

I like that bit that Norway has been busing out asylum seekers across its arctic border with Russia...

How does that work?

It's very normal, if you don't qualify for asylum you get a paid flight ticket home. 80000 sounds high but the rejection rate has been steady at about 50% for years iirc, so they expect it to also be 50% for the circa 160000 seekers they received last year.

The tricky part comes when the rejected asylum seeker refuses to go home.

Or the country of origin does not want him back.

Woops. Misread as Sweden decided against doing it.

After the new immigration law the far-right Danish People's Party are now the biggest party in Denmark according to a recent poll because the social democrats, who also voted for the bill, dropped 7%. The left (fronted by the SD) getting the majority however because of a huge increase to the social liberal parties. Experts conclude that the Danes are actually mostly against the new law.

[Razgovory]

I wonder if this will cause Europe to become more interventionist in the future.  Even the densest Euro should be able to see that looking the other way while civil war and instability occur in near by regions can have dramatic negative consequences.
