Countries opinions

Greece (country opinion) 
Greece is just one of many countries faced with hundreds of thousands of refugees trying to enter their borders. Those refugees use the Eastern Mediterranean route. In a good situation Greece would have wanted to house many refugees, but unfortunately this is not the case. Problems are due to the national economic crisis. Many migrants are forced to rely on Greek citizens and others to help them survive. This is because of the lack of humanitarian support supplied by the Greek government. With the current unemployment rate of Greece at 55%, there is little to no chance for refugees to supply their families with housing, clothing, and food they need. In spite of the fact that the refugees want to go to the rest of Europe, they become stuck and have not way out. Greece has a lot of debts, no money, no work and no houses. This is why they don´t want to house the refugees at the moment. They can handle a small amount, but only when the economic situation is stable again they can give refugees a house and a life.

Denmark (country opinion) 
In Denmark the old welfare state is more important for the majority of Danish voters than solidarity with the world. They are afraid that if they want to maintain a society that takes care of the weak, they aren´t able to handle the refugees. Denmark has often been a leader on immigration issues, but with this crisis they don´t want to help. In Denmark healthcare and education is free.  As soon as the refugees have a residence permit they have the right on free healthcare and education too. The citizens of Denmark voted in a referendum and more than 50% voted against letting refugees enter the country. This shows that the citizens are against solidarity.     There's a big possibility that they are afraid. They don´t want people benefitting from their social system as long as they don´t pay.

Turkey (country opinion)
Turkey now hosts the world’s largest community of Syrians refugees displaced by the ongoing conflict in their country. Right now holding 2,715,789 refugees. In order to maintain the order in these camps the government has set up a consistently high standard and declared a temporary protection regime. In 2015 the country established new centers for those refugees coming, since the ones that they had, had been full for a long time then.
Now, Turkey is asking for money and the EU is ready to give 3 Billion euros and a visa-free travel for that country, if they are able to close the border and stopping the Syrian refugees into going across Europe without any control. It is also know that in the previous years Turkey´s policy about entering European Union it is being considered and now with the Refugee Crisis it may be granted. However Turkey is now asking for 6 Billion euros instead of the original agreement.

The Netherlands (country opinion)
The Netherlands allow refugees to enter the country if their country is in war. As well as a refugee can be admitted, his family also can go in. Economical migrants are not welcome in the Netherlands.
Dutch citizens are afraid that the refugees will cost the government way too much money. The Dutch social system is a very good one. Every Dutch citizens contributes to the social system. The refugees have never contributed to the system but they do profit.
Once they are in The Netherlands, they have a number of rights like the right of protection. There is also an asylum procedure established by the government. They also get a refugee passport so they can stay in Netherlands without documentation from their natural country.

Italy (country opinion)
This year 25000 refugees entered Italy. Italy has a lot of refugees already and they have asked the European Union to divide the amount of people multiple times. ´We don´t know where to take them´, said border guard Giovanni Pinto. There are still 80.000 people waiting to cross the Mediterranean sea. As soon as they have crossed the sea, they´ll enter Italy.

Spain (country opinion)
Spain is now facing a lot of politic and economic problems.
The government is not established yet, because in the last elections none of them obtain the majority, and nowadays there´s not a possible agreement between the principal parties.
There are also a lot of economic problems because of crisis and corruption. There are a lot of people who neither have job nor money to keep a good lifestyle.
If we take this to the refugees problem, we can see that Spain cannot afford taking in a lot of refugees that’s why there are only 18 refugees, although Spaniards complained about it and government decided to take in 450 new refugees.

France (country opinión)
France are hosting thousands of refugees from Syria, at the beginning was one of
the better place that a refugee could come, because they would have a lot of privileges, like
80 euros per week, they could have the change of been a French and also had French
classes.
Now France has changed his way of thinking, and is one of the country, that are
against of receive refugees. They are thinking of close the border, stop to receive refugees, give money to Turkey for stop the flow of refugees to Europe.
