"Mr President, the EU is pandering to a country which is sliding ever closer to barbarism. The fact that this project is bribing Turkey with EUR 2.2 billion of EU taxpayers’ money, in a desperate bid to stem the migrant crisis of its own making, is a total political, economic and human disaster.
To stem this migration, the EU was willing to bend over backwards and ignore the war on the Kurds, the smuggling of oil from ISIS and the continual destruction of human rights in Turkey. Instead of dealing with the real issues of the Schengen zone and Ms Merkel’s insane open doors policy, the EU is choosing to believe that a coup was attempted, when in reality it was set up by the Turkish Government to crack down on internal dissent.
I am only glad that we in the UK are getting out of the EU while we can, because this policy is madness. The cowardly, self-delusionary posturing of the EU towards Turkey is an utter disaster, and the accession process must end soon. It is an offence against both human rights and democracy. You are simply enabling a totalitarian regime, Ms Mogherini. Halt all talks now and stop giving bribes to them."@en1
