1. More than a million Syrians (from Türkiye, Lebanon, Jordan) have voluntarily returned to Syria since December 2024. 2. Only a couple of thousands of Syrians residing in the EU have voluntarily gone home. 3. EU Observer uncovers a 'secret group' that is trying to facilitate such returns.
Excellent work by The Guardian:
Despite warnings by Biden administration in 2021-22 neither Zelenskyy nor continental Europeans, Poland including, believed Russia would undertake a full-scale invasion.
As late as 22 Feb. 2022, Zelenskyy rejected martial law.

Rubio’s speech at Munich Security Conference www.state.gov/releases/off... was less offensive to Europeans that Vance’s last year.
Rubio’s remarks were a sedative, to calm the EU down as MAGA dismantles the bloc’s democracy bit by bit.
I přes opakované slovo „odmítnutí“ je vládní usnesení z 16. prosince 2025 potvrzením litery a záměrů nového paktu, který unie předloni odsouhlasila a který letos hodlá doplnit a zpřísnit dalšími ustanoveními.
nevybíravě útočily na Fialovu vládu za to, že vyjednala legislativu k novému Paktu o migraci. V současném volebním období se Babišovi ministři chystají na uvedení těchto zákonů do praxe.
Babišova vláda míří do hlavního proudu evropské azylové politiky
V Evropské unii se klamání tělem stalo pevnou součástí migrační a azylové rétoriky. Babišova vláda, kterou prezident jmenoval v prosinci, se nijak neodchyluje od tohoto trendu. V minulém volebním období strany současné vládní koalice
I do know the meaning and I think it’s 1. not wise and 2. unworkable in a pluralistic democracy
Read the article perhaps? The EPP Group voted with the Socialists in 85% cases. Is that not enough for you? In order to approve, do you require 100%?
Explain please?
Premiér Babiš v novoročním projevu oznámil, že jeho vláda bude spolupracovat na migračních otázkách s Itálií, Dánskem a dalšími zeměmi Evropské Unie.
Je to skvělá zpráva. Potvrzuje, že Babišova vláda se bude alespoň v některých evropských otázkách chovat konstruktivně.

A (definitely) non-woke call for more immigration from Belarus' Lukashenka, a role model for the far right in the West:
'Migrants are not needed — but Belarusians work lazily, so migrants are needed, though they must be kept under the control of security services.'

Among them were almost 1.8 million citizens of African countries seeking asylum in an EU country (38% of all arrivals). Most newly admitted Africans were regular immigrants with a residence permit granted prior to their arrival (62%).

Between 2014 and 2023 annual inflows from Africa to the EU increased from 367,000 in 2014 to between 480,000 and 622,000 per annum since 2021.
During these 10 years, a total of 4.6 million African citizens settled in an EU country.
I think dystopia and reality are synonymous on this occasion. Europe’s social democrats have ignored the writing on the wall too long.
🖊️ Schengen visas (a new EU visa suspension mechanism; restrictions for Russians; and easier access by Nigerians to German consulates).
🖊️ Immigration to Spain and its positive effect on the economy.

My migration update for November is out. In this issue:
🖊️ OECD migration statistics for 2024 (a small decline in permanent migration; labour immigration down; family migration continues to be historically high; record high asylum applications; record high resettlement).
Another migration-related warning from the US to the EU:
Conducting immigration and asylum policy without popular approval risks an unlawful backlash in the future:

Ms Mahmood might be referring to the fact irregular border crossings from France to the U.K. are now larger than any other EU-headed irregular migration route? Even then, her description is inaccurate www.frontex.europa.eu/thumb/Images...
The amended rules will allow the EU to react quicker and more vigorously to situations where visa-free travel is being abused or works against its interests.
See here: www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...
Long overdue: Today, the Council gave its final go ahead for an update of the EU’s mechanism to suspend visa-free travel for citizens of third countries who do not require a visa when travelling to the Schengen area.
