This is disgusting disregard for humanity and human rights. It is the racism/xenophobia of the 'former' colonisers, afraid of their ex-slaves.
It's hard to imagine this hardline migration law passing during the previous 🇪🇺Parliament term. But the new right-wing majority delivered by voters in the 2024 EU election means von der Leyen's centre-right EPP can team up with the far right (Le Pen's PfE, Weidel's ESN, Meloni's ECR) to pass this.
