The European Union (EU) is sticking to its tough line on migration policy. A recently reached agreement on stricter rules has sparked mixed reactions, as Tagesschau reports.
Supporters of the new approach view the decision as a long-overdue step. They argue that the EU must better protect its external borders and more effectively curb irregular migration.
Critics, however, describe the development as shameful. They accuse the EU of violating humanitarian principles with the tightening and of unlawfully turning away people seeking protection.
