Estonia: Bikers ride to oppose refugee camp

Estonian bikers from the group Tsiklirahvas rode to the village of Vao, Saturday, to support local people who are protesting against the expansion of a refugee camp in the area. The resident-protesters, who oppose the relocation of 35 refugees to Vao, met the bikers with applause as they passed through the village. The European Union is preparing a new proposal on how to resettle tens of thousands of non-EU refugees, many of whom are entering the EU across the Mediterranean Sea. Many EU member states have refused to accept their proposed quotas of migrants. Estonia’s Minister of Internal Affairs Hanno Pevkur has said the country is capable of accepting between 84 and 156 refugees.
