Not so special treatment
A back-handed Christmas present: the EU takes dire steps to erode the right to asylum. To celebrate the birthday of a refugee child who famously suggested we love one another, on our holiday episode, we discuss refugees and the issue of asylum. The EU moves toward further restricting asylum. The new pact agreed on 20 December, even refuses a proposed age limit for the detention of irregular arrivals, or family protections. Yet, refugees continue to cross unconventional paths as they face wars, political volatility, persecution and the worsening effects of climate disasters. #refugees #asylum
