Statewatch | EU wants to deport people to countries with which they have no connection

A German diplomatic cable obtained by Statewatch shows that 11 member states would like to be able to deport people to any country they wish – even if the person has no connection to it.
While most member states were on board with the Commission’s proposals, 11 member states support deleting the connection criteria altogether: Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Cyprus, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia.
FFS. Don't follow Donald Trump's example. Europeans are supposed to be smarter than this.

We will just have to acclimate to a vastly different world somewhere in the future... Wars and conflict? Our allies have no other way and some countries need simply to be toppled as to get better contracts for them companies
