The difficulty of the agreement with Turkey is a further sign of difficulty for Europe

The possibility of success of the pact between the European Union and Turkey, not only to the refugee issue, but also for greater collaboration, able to bring the country turkish within the organization in Brussels, shows the concrete negative outlook due its criticality. The conditions of urgency with which the agreements were concluded, had caused more than one perplexity and concern are also significant, by whom, as well as being at odds for humanitarian reasons, he saw no practical benefit from such a strategy. The bureaucrats in Brussels were identified in Turkey one can stem the flow of migrants, especially from Syria, which caused deep disagreements within the European Union; He had tried, that is, to find a solution to the crisis in relations between the member states, in a third subject, despite the guarantees were not completely for dependability. We must also consider the reasons for Ankara to join this pact, which were certainly not based on reasons of humanity, but rather of political expediency. Erdogan had seen in a possible breach of necessity in which Europe fit to meet their aspirations to join the European Union to take part, albeit gradually. The question was around the guarantees required by Brussels in relation to civil and political rights, which have always been the cause impediment to the process of accession to Ankara, back on track to join the EU, which seemed broken in an almost definitive, could be for the government of Erdogan, often compared to a system, a way to regain prestige and international visibility. However the intentions of President turkish have never been supported by any specific evidence in the sense of respect for the rights, which, in fact, saw the overall situation worse, due to the excuse of the law to prevent terrorism. This law, in fact, has created the conditions for even compress the guarantees of respect for the rights and has virtually silenced all opposition press, with a change of editors and journalists of adverse heads the government, who have taken a closer line to that of the executive. The immediate consequence to narrow the field of criticism followed a repressive policy of non-aligned journalists, who have been the subject of convictions and imprisonment, in a framework still even wider repression of civil society, which is not allowed to dissent from the positions less and less democratic President Erdogan. Although the abandonment of the head of government, a personality that could provide some room for maneuver in the talks with Europe, is yet another sign of a malaise that is also invading the closest political circles for president. These assumptions do not provide a sufficient basis to continue the negotiations, although the EU still does not work out alternative strategies to migrants solution. Brussels must be able to make calculations based first of all long-term policies and not surrender to the contingency of the moment: opening a door to this Turkey would mean distorting the Community structure and further increase the internal stress, able to facilitate the victory of formations against the European Union and reduce the space for dialogue among the member states. There are other aspects outside of attempted relationship with Ankara, which raise questions related to the legal aspects of the treatment of asylum seekers. In fact, in Greece the problem of expulsions of Syrian refugees to Turkey is blocking the process, for fear of complaints, however the greek country conditions are at the limit and vital need to find an alternative solution to the Turkish one, also because there would cases of ill-treatment of Syrians returned to Turkey. The concern of Athens is that the refusal of refugee status is contrary to international rules, as interpreted by authoritative sources such as the United Nations agency for refugees. If this legal case should be real responsibility would fall on the greek country, instead of Brussels where it was thought the agreement with Turkey. This scenario helps to understand the weakness of an institution that thinks about its own survival without protection of the individual members: a somewhat flawed and fallacious method, which does not allow, without a sharp change of direction, of hope in the goodness of an overall approach to problems Community with a proper attention to the overall dynamics, both political, and economic, social, able to find fair and balanced solutions with emergencies that are gradually presenting. The appearance on the admission of choice of new subjects within the EU is the most delicate, should not be repeated the mistakes of the past, when they were admitted were not in line with the founding principles of the union, but only for strategic convenience Washington and Berlin economy. No coincidence that the Eastern European countries are those from which the major international cohesion problems and the possible entry of a country like Turkey, which does not respect democratic rules, would exacerbate this dialectic already precariously. The migrants test serves to stabilize precisely these relationships, to establish a division of tasks to speculate accession economic benefits in Brussels, which must not be secured to the bitter end, without a proper attitude of burden-sharing, including the very ones related to the issue of refugees, which constitute the most concrete signal to determine the real will of belonging to a Europe which wants to establish the values ​​of social and civil rights, in contrast to the vision of certain states, wishing these rights for their exclusive use and consumption. On this basis it must be made to determine the reasoning the new criteria for membership and maintenance of the states within the European Union.
