EU Could Propose 'Return Hubs' for Illegal Migrants by March, Say Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson and Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer
Jan 2, 2025, 05:14 PM
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced that the European Union could submit a proposal as soon as March on the creation of so-called 'return hubs' to expedite the removal of illegal migrants. Kristersson outlined this potential timetable during a meeting in Vienna with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer. Both leaders urged the EU to intensify efforts to combat irregular migration, proposing the establishment of centers outside the EU for migrants who have no right to stay in the bloc. The issue of irregular migration has been a pressing concern across the EU, influencing political agendas and contributing to the rise of far-right parties.
