European Union Advances Migration System Overhaul Amid Criticism
The European Union is finalizing a significant overhaul of its migration system, focusing on streamlined deportations and increased detentions. This move comes amid ongoing debates among EU members about migration policies, which have become more stringent over the years. The new system includes a 'safe third country' concept, allowing EU nations to deny residency and deport migrants who can apply for asylum in other safe countries. Additionally, a 'solidarity pool' is being established to share the costs of hosting refugees among member nations, with a fund of 430 million euros aimed at supporting countries like Cyprus, Greece, Italy, and Spain. Human rights groups have criticized these measures, arguing they will lead to more human suffering rather than reducing migration.
