Not responsible Merkel for images of Idomeni but "Macedonians" and the Austrians, who closed facto -in more or itton- borders. Locked borders do not make us the crisis because the misery of people then grows more and therefore look for other, illegal and far more dangerous, routes to Europe. This and nothing else shows the chaos of Idomeni. We need a coordinated European solution, which is already beginning to work.
