AfD Kompakt, April 6, 2021
The EU-Turkey agreement has failed. The EU has made itself
liable to extortion and Erdogan makes maximum use of this circumstance. It is
nonsense to negotiate with him for a prolongation or even a new edition of the
agreement. The tribute payments to the Turkish ruler must be ended immediately.
While it pays court to Erdogan, the EU leaves its member
state Greece alone to defend the external borders. That too must have an end.
The money, principally from the purse of the German
taxpayer, which the EU remits to Ankara would be essentially better invested in
an effective construction of an EU-wide border defense.
If the EU here continues to not meet its responsibility and,
in exchange for money, prefers to shove this onto Turkey, it obviously loses in
this area also its justification.
