GREECE ULLEGAL PUSHBACK
OCTOBER:
AUSTRIA, POLAND, LITHUANIA WANT EU BORDER WALL TO STOP BELARUS PUSHING OUT MIGRANTS - EU COMMISSION PRESIDENT SAYS NEVER!
(November update: Germany appeals for unity as Belarus escorts more migrants to Poland's border, Guardian)
The BBC have a special report on how Belarus is actively helping migrants, including videos from some of them as they travel across borders.
Quite a split growing in the EU. The Syrian crisis exposed these splits and now it's the efforts of Belarus' president Lukashenko, under EU sanctions for stealing an election, that are highlighting this. While the likes of Luxembourg's PM spoke up against the idea, multiple states are demanding a border wall. See Guardian.

POPULIST CZECH PM LOSES ELECTION FOUGHT ON ANTI-EU, ANTI-IMMIGRATION + FOLLOWING POLAND/HUNGARY MODEL
Across the EU, the immigration issue continues to dominate. In the Czech Republic the populist anti-immigration, anti-EU government party lost after right and left mainstream parties formed separate coalitions but agreed to work together after the vote to stop the Czech Republic going down the anti-democratic path of Poland and Hungary. ' Babiš fought a fear-mongering campaign that vowed to protect the Czech Republic from illegal immigrants and involved maligning the EU' - Guardian
