EU-Minister einigen sich auf neuen Migrationsreformplan für 2026

**Submission Statement**

The recent European Union agreement on the 2026 migration reform with faster deportations, broader “safe third-country” rules, and a solidarity pool limited to 21,000 relocations or ~ 430 million risks turning asylum into a matter of bureaucratic procedure rather than human rights: by prioritizing speed and deterrence over safety and protection, the new pact undermines the principle of offering refuge to those fleeing persecution, and replaces European solidarity with minimal-threshold obligation.
