The EU’s southern frontier – Greece, Italy, and Spain – teeters on the edge of collapse, battered by a migration crisis that Brussels aggravates. As Central and Northern European elites, driven by electoral panic, embrace conservative policies, they risk turning these Mediterranean nations into Europe’s human dumping grounds.

One latest development is particularly alarming: In April 2025, Germany’s Federal Administrative Court ruled Greece a “safe country” for returning single, healthy male migrants with protection status there, arguing they can survive with minimal provisions -“bread, bed, and soap”.

While the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in October 2024 condemned such automatic returns, the German decision is legally framed, tied to the 2018 Seehofer Deal, which, under conditions, allows Germany to send asylum seekers back to where they came from. However, it exposes a grim reality: Northern Europe is offloading its migration burden southward, ignoring ECHR warnings about Greece’s strained system.
