Washington Post: E.U. may levy heavy fines against member states who defy directives on migrants
PARIS— In a blatant slap at the European Union’s authority, Hungary’s Supreme Court on Tuesday paved the way for a referendum defying an E.U. order to resettle tens of thousands of migrants among member states.
The proposed popular vote has long been pushed by Viktor Orban, Hungary’s hard-line prime minister, whose outspoken anti-immigrant platform and distaste for E.U. leadership is well documented.
The referendum would be a direct affront to Brussels bureaucrats and to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who have been pushing for a permanent system of mandatory migrant quotas across the European Union.
The Hungarian vote is expected to be held this year, and its results will be valid if voter turnout exceeds 50 percent.

WNU Editor: The EU' is responding to Hungary's decision to hold a referendum on migrant quotas .... Hungary to hold EU migrant quota referendum by October (Reuters). How much this fine will be is only going to be officially released tomorrow .... but apparently the number is so high that opponents to this process are already leaking the numbers ($250,000 - $300,00 per claimant). If such a fine is imposed, I cannot help but feel that it will not only accelerate the disintegration of the EU, but it will give even more ammo to supporters of Brexit in England one more reason on why the U.K. should leave the EU. Sighhh .... this is Angela Merkel's doing. After declaring to the world that Germany's borders are open .... the resulting flood of humanity has forced her to dump this problem on the neighbouring states, but by doing so she is now fracturing the EU.

They have no idea and no will to solve that dramatic situation.
Simply the North Sea Europe is ready to sacrifice the Mediterranean Sea Europe (and some of the east).
The dominant position of Germany is secured by the internal alliances made in years, while southern Europe (Italy included) missed to see the necessity to make similar alliances.
The last time were when Greece was under economic attack (aside from the final betrayal of Tsipras), but almost all of those f...ing "moderates" choose to stay in that "dog eat dog" system.
The EU really has gone insane. It gets more ridiculous by the monent. Barack Obama is brilliant when it comes to fighting Republicans. Of course the fact that Republican leaders are stupid helps him.
When it comes to foreign policy, he's not so brilliant. For example, the EU is doomed and has been for a long time. Why is Batack Obama opposing BREXIT? He should be doing the opposite. The core members of the EU are enemies of America. Why help them? Wouldn't it make much more sense to support tbe opposition to the EU? Mr. Obama is either an enemy of America, blinded by ideology, stupid, or sone combination. He's not stupid. I think the problem is mostly a case of ideology.
Time to break up that dogs breakfast, the EU a control freaks dream.
Fisherian runaway just does not explain the characteristics of animals.
It explains how politicians can be 'fit' by measures of policy enacted, popularity, social standing, money, and women, but still they are deleterious to society.
e.g. Clinton, Gore, Obama, ...
