It’s starting: Frontex is being deployed in Belgium
„The government had announced it, and now it’s happening: since last week, the first Frontex agents have been on duty at Zaventem airport.
The government’s goal is clear: the Minister of the Interior (Quintin, MR) and the Minister of Asylum and Migration (Van Bossuyt, N-VA) are delighted with this new collaboration. With the support of Frontex, they want to increase the number of deportations by plane.
Anyone staying illegally in Belgium must return to their country as quickly as possible. Thanks to Frontex’s intervention, we can speed up the pace of return operations.’
(Van Bossuyt)
The Frontex agency is the armed hand of the European Union: officially, in the words of the EU, Frontex ‘guarantees the safety and smooth functioning of external borders by ensuring security’.
In reality, Frontex is a deadly agency, already responsible for the deaths of thousands of people every year at the borders of Fortress Europe.“
We can only fear the worst with the new ‘collaboration’ between police officers and Frontex.
Borders kill. Down with borders.
