‘The Era of Deportations Has Begun’: EU Parliament Approves Member Countries Setting up Return Hubs Outside the EU To Send Failed ‘Asylum Seekers’
What was once a ‘far-right’ idea is now a common-sense policy for Europe.
First, it was Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with her Albania plan, followed by former British PM Rishi Sunak with his ‘Rwanda plan’ – both blocked by activist judges because of the insane EU asylum legislation.
But today (26), after years of constant growth of right-wing parties across the old continent, things are changing for real, as European lawmakers voted to authorize the setting up of migrant detention centers outside the European Union, known as ‘return hubs’.
BREAKING:
The EU just started the procedure for the toughest migrant detention and deportation plan yet.
Today the EU Parliament voted 389 to 206 to authorize immediate negotiations on the new Return Regulation.

Associated Press reported:
“Members of the European Parliament voted 389-206 in favor, with 32 abstentions. Right-wing parties made an alliance with far-right groups that they had previously shunned to pass the measure, while parties of the left and center voted against.
Any EU nation can now negotiate on its own or in small coalitions to deport migrants not to their home countries but to facilities yet to be built outside the 27-nation bloc.”
“Already, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark have entered into negotiations with governments mainly in Africa to host sites to hold migrants denied asylum.
[…] Charlie Weimers, a lawmaker from the right-wing Sweden Democrats: ‘There is a new consensus in Europe. The era of deportations has begun’, he said in a social media post.”
Euronews reported:
“The law will also increase the legal detention period to up to two years and impose practically unlimited entry bans in the EU on the returned people.
The final version of the law will now be discussed between the Parliament and EU member states. The negotiation is expected to be smooth, as there are no substantial differences between the two texts.
Both MEPs and EU countries want to include in the deportations to third countries families with children, excluding from the provision only the unaccompanied minors.”
