Cost of migration crisis means nothing to us, says top EU official
Dimitris Avramopoulos, EU official in charge of migration, says political backlash over migration 'means nothing' as he is not elected.
“The Commission does not take the blame because it does not care about the political cost,” he said. “The Commission is here for five years to do its job and we did it with vision, responsibility and commitment. Because what is driving us is not to be re-elected. That is why for us the political cost means nothing.”
European leaders, he said, should be follow suit. “This is the message I would send all around Europe: stop thinking about the so-called political cost,” he told Politico, a Brussels-based news website
