Launch of the campaign (Brussels, Nouakchott, Tunis)

For more than a decade, an exclusively security-oriented approach has guided European migration policies: restrictive visa issuance, construction of walls and fences, militarized border control and forced return for refugees to their countries of origin, subcontracting migration control to undemocratic States...

During the various amendments and revisions of its mandate, Frontex has become the most financed European agency (302 million budget forecast in 2017), with a growing decision-making and deployment capacity.

The progress made in the Agency's new mandate clearly illustrates the priority given to a Europe determined to impede the right to mobility with the support of quasi-military means deployed at the external borders of the Union, Schengen area and beyond (see updated map of external cooperation).

Frontexit is a grouping of associations, researchers and individuals from civil society of the North and South of the Mediterranean on the initiative of the Migreurop, coordinated by Migreurop and EuroMed Rights
