It's like they want more countries to secede from the EU


What does this have to do with the EU?


In response to when this news first broke, the Austrian government implemented a cap on the number of refugees to admit; which angered other EU members:

Just 80 asylum applications will be accepted each day at Austria's southern border, after which it will shut.

The European migration commissioner has described the measure as "plainly incompatible" with European Union law.

The EU's migration commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, has written to Austria's interior minister, saying the cap is plainly incompatible with Austria's obligations under EU and international law.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker criticised the Austrian move, remarking that "solo national approaches were not recommended".

"It avoids a potential confrontation with the wider EU. Brussels had warned that a limit on numbers of asylum seekers would break the bloc’s rules, as well as pandering to the rise of the far-right.

Tougher restrictions brought in after a breach in the cap would have seen unsuccessful applicants turned away at the border, breaching EU rules on asylum and free movement.

"Breaking EU law openly would have been a huge embarrassment for Austria," said a spokesman for Austria's Catholic Caritas charity, which works with refugees and asylum seekers."
