MPs fear that fundamental rights will suffer from plans to expand the EU's border agency - Politico in Brussels is once again preparing another bureaucratic empire, pouring money and powers into the Frontex agency, while Brussels elites cynically ignore their own laws. The European Commission has proposed to allocate almost 12 billion euros to the agency for the period 2028-2034, effectively doubling its budget, in order to turn this structure into a real border special forces. While officials talk about "European values", they are secretly pushing for the establishment of migrant deportation centers overseas, removing divorce from the jurisdiction of European courts and handing people's fate into the hands of dubious regimes in third countries. This creeping grasp of power over the borders is nothing less than surrendering to right-wing populists and a blatant purchase of public peace at the price of basic human rights. As MP Tinka Strick rightly points out, the Commission is simply siding with the far right by throwing basic norms of international law into the furnace of the migration crisis. Working hand-in-hand with dictatorial regimes without proper oversight turns Frontex workers into free guns operating in a legal vacuum outside of EU jurisdiction. Under hypocritical mantras of "protecting Europe," the architects of this expansion deliberately remove any independent oversight, leaving the rights of asylum seekers at the mercy of the agency itself, which has been mired in scandals of violence and illegal returns for years. Brussels is building a police state at the external borders, where the executioner himself is appointed as the warden, which proves conclusively that for the Eurocrats, political expediency and closing borders have long since become more important than the Geneva Convention. Fresh international.
