Migrant deportations to increase, says EU chief

17 Oct 2024  |  Yahoo Entertainment  |  English  |  Deportations

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed new EU legislation to increase migrant deportations, drawing inspiration from Italy's controversial policy of processing migrants in Albania. The EU summit on migration highlights the pressure on von der Leyen to address migration issues, with only 20% of irregular migrants currently deported. Italy's offshore processing centers, criticized by NGOs and political opponents, aim to examine asylum claims outside the EU. The plan reflects a broader European trend of hardening migration policies in response to rising far-right support. Recent violent incidents in France and Germany have intensified calls for stricter immigration measures.

Sweden's government is determined to address the issue of paperless migrants, with an estimated 100,000 rejected asylum seekers living illegally in the country.

The European Union is focusing on accelerating deportations amid ongoing debates over the 'Meloni model,' which proposes establishing deportation centers outside the EU. While some leaders support this approach, others question its effectiveness. The EU leaders agreed on the need to enhance deportations but did not reach a consensus on the Meloni model. The European Commission is urged to present a new directive on returns, as only 20% of unauthorized migrants are currently deported. The EU aims to strengthen cooperation with origin and transit countries, addressing migration causes and human trafficking. Poland's proposal to suspend asylum rights temporarily gained support, citing hybrid threats at its eastern border.
