The European Commission Evaluates New Migration Restrictions After the Ceuta Crisis
Brussels is analyzing measures to strengthen external borders and speed up returns. According to Euronews, Ursula von der Leyen could present the initiative this week.
The European Commission is working on a new restrictive turn in its migration policy after the Ceuta crisis, according to Euronews in Spanish. Among the options under study are a strengthening of external borders and an increase in returns.
According to that outlet, Ursula von der Leyen could announce the measures this week during her State of the Union address. Among the proposals on the table are the temporary suspension of the right to asylum in the event of sudden and massive arrivals, the expansion of Frontex’s powers and size, and the financing with European funds of return centers in third countries.
Euronews reported that the three initiatives have the support of a majority of member states and the European People’s Party. At the same time, non-governmental organizations and left-wing sectors have already made their rejection public.
