Is Frontex enabling illegal pushbacks?

Synopsis

Frontex faces criticism for alleged pushbacks of migrants without due process.

Synopsis

Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, is established in 2004 to help EU member states manage and secure their external borders. However, it faces significant criticism for allegedly failing to prevent or report pushbacks, where migrants are forcibly returned without due process. This situation raises serious questions about Frontex's accountability and its role in the future of border management within the EU. The ongoing debates highlight the challenges of balancing border security with the rights of migrants seeking asylum.
