Spain will host nearly 15,000 refugees following the breakdown provided by EU

USPA NEWS - Spain will host 14,931 Syrian refugees and other countries, under the division established by the European Commission, whose president, Jean Claude Juncker, released Wednesday. With whom he had already received in May, Spain will host 19,219 refugees in total.

Spain has accepted the quota established by the European Commission, according to Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, and will be "solidarity" with the situation of Syrian refugees. The Spanish Government, said the vice president, "will not discuss figures with which it is falling," a position that had already been conducted by the President of Government, Mariano Rajoy, in his public appearances last week.

Juncker proposed Wednesday that the 28 member countries of the European Union are distributed to 120,000 asylum seekers who have arrived in Hungary, Greece and Italy. These refugees will join the 40,000 received in May, so the EU will welcome 160,000 people over the next two years. Juncker said "it is true that Europe can not accommodate all the misery in the world, but they are 0.11% of the total population of the EU and in Lebanon are the 25%." The European Commission has proposed creating a trust fund emergency 1,800 million euros to help Africa and to combat political instability on the continent.

The distribution of quotas is established taking into account four criteria: the population size, GDP, average asylum applications and the unemployment rate. Based on these criteria, Germany with 31,443, France with 24,031 and Spain with 14,931 are the three countries that Europe asks which accommodate a larger number of refugees. But solidarity with refugees is not limited to Europe. As it became known on Wednesday, Australia will host 12,000 refugees and extend to Syria bombings carried out against the Islamic State.

In total, Australia will host 25,750 people, including those who are already in the country. The Australian Government granted women the permanent foster care, children and families belonging to persecuted minorities from the border between Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, said at a press conference the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, who had been criticized within his country for refusing to increase the number of admitted in Australia on humanitarian grounds and that this year had been set at 13,750 people refugees. Finally, that number will add another 12,000.
