The European Union, having learned nothing from its failed migration policy, is pushing for the same unsuccessful measures as before, as evidenced by the new migration pact approved by Thursday’s vote. In our article, we compiled the most memorable and tragic moments of the 2015 migration crisis.

Police used tear gas and water cannons, while the attackers set car tyres ablaze and threw them off from the roofs of nearby outbuildings.

 

Terrorist attacks all across Europe  

The 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris have gone down in the history as the most tragic such incident in recent years. On the evening of 13 November 2015, three separate bombings and six shootings took place in different parts of the French capital, claiming at least 130 lives.

Most of the perpetrators were French or Belgian nationals with an immigrant background, but there were some who arrived in Europe amidst of the 2015 migration crisis.

The attack was claimed by the Islamic State terrorist organization.

Berlin was rocked by a similarly shocking terrorist attack in 2016. On 19 December, Tunisian immigrant Anis Amri plowed a hijacked truck at high speed into a crowded Christmas market in the German capital, smashing passers-by, vendors and shoppers alike.

Migrant crime now a part of everyday life 

In addition to the tragic events, migrant crime has become part of everyday life in Europe, especially in the western and northern member states, as migrants are terrorizing European citizens. The latest disquieting incident occurred in France on Thursday, precisely on the day when the new migration pact was approved, when a man of Syrian descent with an immigrant background attacked and stabbed six people with a knife - including four children - in broad daylight, causing life-threatening injuries to many. Similar incidents and attacks in Italy, Sweden and Germany are part of the daily news coverage these days.
