FURY erupted last night when the EU's migration supremo called for voters' concerns about huge numbers of refugees heading to Europe should be ignored.
Eurocrat Dimitris Avramopoulos urged European leaders to "stop thinking
about the political cost" when tackling the migration crisis on the EU's
borders.
And he claimed that the European Commission was best placed to find a
solution to the crisis because Brussels bureaucrats did not have to worry about
seeking re-election.
His outburst, in an interview with the website Politico, was condemned as
"breathtaking arrogance" yesterday.
"The Commission does not take the blame because it does not care about
the political cost," said the EU migration commissioner.
"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
reelected. That is why for us the political cost means
nothing."
