Merz calls migration one of the biggest EU problems - now the right to asylum is up for debate

Despite falling migration numbers and new EU asylum rules, Chancellor Friedrich Merz still sees a great need for action in migration policy. At the EU summit in Brussels, he emphasized that irregular migration was one of Europe's biggest problems. The debate was triggered by the migration crisis in Ceuta, in which around 80,000 migrants from Morocco arrived in the Spanish exclave and at least 140 people died. While Spain legalized around 500,000 irregular migrants, Austria and Denmark criticized this move. French President Macron warned of dehumanization in the migration debate. Italy and Spain are showing the first signs of easing in the dispute over border controls, while Frontex reported a 35 percent decrease in irregular entries compared to the previous year.
