As of today, the EU Migration Pact comes into full effect. Critics warn that Sweden will have less influence over migration policy as more and more decisions are shifted from the national level to Brussels.
After two years of preparation, the EU’s Migration and Asylum Pact is now entering into force in all member states. The new framework covers asylum procedures, border controls, the registration of migrants, and a common system for how member states should manage migration pressures.
Sweden will become part of the EU's common system
Perhaps the biggest change is that migration policy is being coordinated to a greater extent at the EU level. Member states are required to follow common rules for asylum screening, registration, and the allocation of responsibility.
The pact also includes a permanent solidarity mechanism under which member states are expected to contribute when other countries face high migration pressure. Contributions may take the form of accepting migrants, financial payments, or operational support.
Critics argue that this development means national parliaments have less room to maneuver, while the European Commission is playing a greater role in migration policy.
New checks and larger databases
Under the pact, individuals who arrive illegally at the EU’s external border must undergo identity, security, and health checks within seven days. At the same time, the EU’s migration database, Eurodac, is being expanded to include additional biometric data, including facial images.
The EU's goal is to establish a more unified system for registering, monitoring, and managing migration within the Union.
Le Pen warns against a coercive system
Ahead of the pact taking effect, French opposition leader Marine Le Pen wrote on X:
”Tomorrow, the Migration Pact will come into force. It will require European Union member states to accept migrants, or face fines.”
Le Pen also announced that her party intends to hold a referendum on immigration policy if it comes to power.
Even the party leader Jordan Bardella has criticized the pact and described it as a system in which member states are faced with the choice of either accepting migrants or paying large sums of money.
Growing opposition in Europe
Opposition to the migration pact is strongest in countries such as Poland and Hungary, whose governments have long opposed giving the EU greater influence over migration issues.
Now that the pact is being implemented, the EU is entering a new phase in which migration policy will be governed to a greater extent by common rules from Brussels. For Sweden, this means that more decisions on migration and asylum will in the future be made within the framework of the EU’s common system rather than by individual member states.
The issue seems to be so important to the globalists that they are willing to SACRIFICE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING to tear our countries apart.
Absolutely unbelievable
And a bunch of left-wing nutcases who are completely suicidal on top of that.
We have essentially lost all right to make decisions about our own country and have become a vassal state to the fools in Brussels. We must reclaim the Kingdom of Sweden and leave the EU and NATO.
SWEXIT!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, and Swedish voters are total idiots……it’s self-destructive behavior that ends up affecting us sane people too.
After all, Hungary should have let Orbán serve one more term.
Ursula von der Leyen is to be prosecuted for crimes against the people of Europe, and the verdict will be harsh.
Down with the EU!! SWEXIT SWEXIT SWEXIT
If our politicians had any backbone, they’d refuse this, but they’re completely spineless. Poland won’t take in any refugees, nor will it pay to avoid doing so, so it’s possible to do your own thing if you’ve got any backbone.
Our politicians are harmless sheep. And the complacent majority can’t be bothered to do anything about it.
