'EU PLANS TO EXPAND FRONTEX POWERS
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR PEOPLE ON THE MOVE ➡️
Frontex advertises jobs with the claim:
➡️ Job with a mission, Working at Frontex you are making a real difference in people's lives
The differences Frontex makes in the lives of people on the move:
➡️ Pushbacks: In 2023 'at least' 120.457 incidents at the EU's external and internal borders (EPRS)
➡️ At sea: Failure to render assistance to people on the move in distress.
➡️ Testimonies: Beatings, forced river crossings, theft by border agents. With Frontex officers present.
➡️ 65,000 deportations: With Frontex involvement last year. 1 in 3 was carried out by force. (rnd)
➡️ 754 million Euros:
this was the budget of Frontex in 2022. (Frontex)➡️ 1,2 billion Euros:
this is the budget of Frontex in 2026. (EUR-Lex)
➡️ An increase of 59%➡️ 749 people:
worked for Frontex in 2019. (Frontex)➡️ 10.000 people:
will work for Frontex in 2027 according to a plan by the EU Commission. (Frontex)➡️ An increase of 1235% in 8 years!
A new reform ➡️
A reform of Frontex is planned this year....
➡️ More power concerning deportations:
Frontex could take an even larger role in deportations from EU states.➡️ A role in return hubs:
The Agency could also become involved in the planned EU deportation centers.➡️ Deportations beyond the EU:
Under the reform, Frontex could be given the power to deport people from one non-EU country to another. For example, from Tunisia to Mauritania.FRONTEX IS THE FASTEST GROWING EU AGENCY.
➡️ An agency known for pushbacks and other forms of mistreatment.
The EU's solution: more money, more staff and more mistreatment!
Our solution:
ABOLISH FRONTEX!'
