THE European Commission’s vice-president Margaritis Schinas claimed today that Europe will always be an asylum destination for refugees.

Mr Schinas was speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where billionaires and fossil fuel magnates began flying to on private jets on Monday to lobby government officials for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mr Schinas said he was very proud of the bloc’s activation of an emergency protection system for refugees when over six million Ukrainians began fleeing from Russia’s invasion.
