Spain has just flung open Europe’s borders
In 2015, Europe experienced its most significant wave of inward migration since the Second World War. German chancellor Angela Merkel responded by unilaterally opening her nation’s borders, without consulting her own people or her European neighbours.
Yet even as the last crisis continues to roil Europe, even as voters across the continent are loudly demanding control over their nations’ borders, it seems we may be about to see something similar play out all over again. This time, it’s the Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, who has flung open his nation’s – and by extension Europe’s – borders, defying democracy and common sense in the process.
