Considering the fact that 1 million refugees were enough to revitalize Neo-Nazi parties and cause a wave of right-wing terrorism and political assassinations, no, it is not trifling for Europe. I think some of you forget/don't realize how dire the situation was before the 2016 EU-Turkey refugee agreement. 5m would likely lead to the collapse of the EU.
