In this edition, we hear how Sweden wants to pay migrants to return to their countries of origin in a bid to improve integration.
This week, we are joined by three MEPs: German Green Sergey Lagodinsky, Dutch liberal Brigitte van den Berg and Slovenian conservative Matej Tonin.
The panel discussed how to better manage migration, a topic once again creating disunity across the EU.
In Germany, border checks have been reintroduced after a terror attack in August.
The Hungarian government, meanwhile, has threatened to send busloads of irregular migrants on a one-way trip to Brussels.
Matej Tonin feels it is time to speed up the return of those who do not have a right to stay in the EU.
“We have to change, switch the message, and that is why I think that the most important is swift returning and protecting our external borders”, he told the panel.
Sergey Lagodinsky argued that diversity is working well in Europe.
“Of course we have issues, but this has nothing to do with migration,” he said, saying the topic could be “a populist cocktail that is really poisonous”, he said.
