›What is happening with European Migration Politics?
EU hardens external borders as Mediterranean and Balkan arrivals fuel domestic political backlash. Irregular crossings from North Africa and the Middle East keep asylum systems and coastal reception centers under strain, while member states push deals with Tunisia, Libya and Turkey to curb departures. The EU's Pact on Migration and Asylum, deportation drives, and offshore-processing experiments are reshaping bloc policy amid surging far-right electoral pressure.
