Doctors Without Borders: New EU Migration Pact Legitimizes Dangerous Practices

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has issued a stark warning regarding the new EU Migration and Asylum Pact, asserting that its implementation legitimizes dangerous practices. The medical humanitarian organization expressed deep concern as the Greek Parliament rapidly processed the bill required to enact the pact.

MSF stated that the legislation, passed without substantial amendments, effectively normalizes border policies that have already resulted in severe consequences. The organization's announcement highlights a perceived failure to address the human cost associated with these restrictive measures.

The group's criticism centers on the expedited legislative process, suggesting it bypassed thorough scrutiny. MSF argues that by embedding these policies into Greek law, the government is endorsing practices that undermine the safety and well-being of migrants and asylum seekers. The organization calls for a reevaluation of these policies, emphasizing their detrimental impact.
