Any suggestions how that would work? The countries outside Europe won't keep them, and once they enter Europe, they have the right to due process.
The UK is an island, left the EU and was led by the Tories for many years, yet the number of new arrivals was 100k or so last years. If you can't keep them from reaching the UK, you won't be able to prevent them from reaching Italy.
Like I wrote above. Simply register them and take them back if they turn up in a different country asking for welfare. Once it becomes clear that they can't pick their host country, they'll stay put. Simple.
We are richer and better run than more than 95% of the planet. Just a reminder to keep things in perspective.
I don't want to "carry on". On the contrary it is my belief that we need drastic changes hence my insistence on a European solution and my praise for the changes already implemented by the Merz government. But I am also a realist who knows that there are limits to what we can achieve. Migration is a reality and we will never get the number of non-European refugees down to where they were in the 20th century. That is simply not going to happen. And I am not of fan of making promises that can not be fullfilled. What I hope happens is that we reduce the numbers sufficiently that we can properly with them again. But I doubt it will go down much further than 100k new arrivals per year.
How many of those "safe" countries even offer that? If you live in a refugee camp in Libanon, even those basic utilities will look like luxuries to you. Most of the "pull factors" we have like education and basic healthcare aren't things we can take off the table.
I used to think that this might make a difference. But after I learned how life for many Afghans is like, even before the Taliban retook power, especially in rural areas. Living in small huts with no electricity or running water, no access to medicine or schools, no job prospects. Honestly, even if you reduced everything to bed, bred and soap for rejected refugees, they still wouldn't leave.
stop letting the useless workshy into Europe in the first place

how are countries supposed to keep them
Like I wrote above. Simply register them and take them back if they turn up in a different country asking for welfare. Once it becomes clear that they can't pick their host country, they'll stay put. Simple.
We are no rich, well functioning country anymore
We are richer and better run than more than 95% of the planet. Just a reminder to keep things in perspective.
Then why are you insisting to carry on all these things which make the AfD bigger and bigger?

No longer a reason to travel half the world, wandering through dozens
