EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said the bloc could “draw lessons” from the contested Italian policy of processing migrants offshore in Albania ahead of an EU summit focusing on migration.
She made the remarks in a letter to member states ahead of the meeting in Brussels on Thursday and Friday, where she said the European Commission would present a new proposal for legislation to increase deportations of migrants.
Von der Leyen - who is just starting a second five-year term as European Commission chief - appears to be responding to pressure on migration from across Europe.
In her letter to member states, she said the return rate of irregular migrants from EU countries is currently only about 20% - meaning the vast majority of people who are ordered to leave an EU member state do not.
My gf is one of them “irregular migrants”. These scums aren’t giving her papers, they lied about her missing interviews. They took 8 months to do a police visit. And now they’re about to give her an exclusion order. She just filled her phd thesis.
Fuck that nazi bitch. And fuck you if you aggree with that crap. Basically concentration camp.
