EU negotiates with the Taliban: a sell-out?

Avvenire accuses the EU of cynicism:

“One million Afghans have sought protection in Europe. Statistically speaking, half of them will be turned away. Now each of them is anxiously wondering whether, after crossing seas and mountains and enduring hardship and deprivation, they will have to return to the country that denies its citizens freedom and rights more than any other country in the world. The driving force behind a ‘technical’ agreement with the Taliban is Germany, which is under pressure from the far right. But France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Austria and other countries also want what has been described as a ‘pact of shame’. … One which prioritises the interests of European governments over the defence of the rights and freedoms of an entire people.”
