directing the flow of migrants towards the European Union in a bid to destabilise the bloc
What happened to "refugees welcome" and "diversity is our strength"? Oh right, that was at a time when EU's core was booming because of cheap Russian gas, labour power was needed both to run the new industries and to replace the people emigrating from the EU periphery to the core. Now the cheap Russian gas is gone and people are realising that being an internal EU migrant isn't all that it's cracked up to be on account of racism. Now all of a sudden Fortress Evropa must be protected.
