Around 1,000 protesters gathered in Madrid, Friday, to rally against the draft agreement on the refugee crisis between the European Unionc (EU) and Turkey.
Protesters waved an EU flag covered in fake blood and held signs reading "no more innocent deaths." European leaders are still to finalise and seal the agreement during a European Council summit due to take place in Brussels on March 17-18.
The deal stipulates that one Syrian refugee be resettled in the EU for every Syrian refugee returned to Turkey, while aid from the EU to Turkey for handling the refugee crisis will be doubled from three to six billion euros (from $3,345,300 to $6,690,600). The EU also agreed to accelerate the visa liberalisation deal with Turkey from November to June, 2016, as well as speeding up Turkey's EU accession negotiations.
The United Nations has expressed its concern over the legality of the deal and the potential damage to human rights the deal may entail.
