The Black Holes of Europe. How the EU legalizes offshore camps and rights to migrants

On June 1, the negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council reached a preliminary agreement on changes in EU policy against illegal migrants. However, experts believe that the justification of the new regulations is based on frank manipulation of statistics and opens legal holes for deportation to third countries. While the researchers are talking about the need to legalize and voluntary return programs, the “centrist” coalition of the EU, together with the ultra-right, secretly agreed, in fact, repression against illegal migrants. This approach puts European values – and democracy itself – at risk, human rights defenders and lawyers are sure.
