This is a global issue but the EU must ensure that all member states uphold its values and look to the treaties of the European Union to look at the possibility of suspension of member states who are putting up barriers. That, for me, is a frightful sight which I thought was only part of our history. We need to ensure there are transparent legal pathways for refuge to safety in Europe. Without hesitation, I support these motions but I believe we have to and must do more. We must do our duty and we must not repeat history. Indeed, we must rewrite it to show our humanity and our compassion to our fellow global citizens.
