RT @edri: 1/8 #BorderTech is increasingly being used to make decisions & predictions about millions of people on the move. Despite popular public perception that tech is objective & less brutal than humans, its use in border policing deepens discrimination & leads to tragic loss of life.

In 2021 werden er weer 12.000 mensen genadeloos én illegaal de 🇪🇺grens over teruggeduwd.
Worden we vanwege Oekraïne barmhartiger? Of stopt het recht nog steeds aan de grens?
Morgen 19.30 ga ik in @DeBalie in gesprek over #pushbacks

RT @Buitenhoftv: 'Abortus is op een bepaalde manier de kanarie in de kolenmijn', aldus @CorinneEllemeet in #buitenhof. 'Het afkalven van democratie heeft ook te maken met conservatieve krachten die dat recht op abortus willen afschaffen'.

Ook mijn groene collega Europarlementariërs zijn bespioneerd met #Pegasus spyware op hun telefoon.
@EU_Commission en @EUCouncil moeten dit sterk veroordelen en Pegasus verbieden. De rechtsstaat staat op het spel.

@EU_Commission 3⃣ We underlined again that effective change within the Agency can only happen if Member States will also stop with systemic #pushbacks practices (3/3)

Important conclusions ⤵

➡ Frontex should suspend operations where #pushbacks take place
➡ Member States should also play their part in stopping these violations

❗ EP votes against approval of the 2020 #Frontex budget.
The resignation of director Leggeri is a necessary step to enable fundamental changes in the Agency.

Vandaag applaus voor media 👏 zonder kritische journalisten zijn we nergens.
#PressFreedomDay
Maar @RSF_inter laat zien dat vrije pers onder druk staat in Griekenland, Malta, Slovenië Bulgarije, Hongarije, Italië en Polen.
Ook NL moet alert blijven. 👇

RT @EenVandaag: De directeur van het Europees grensagentschap stapt op door onderzoek naar illegale pushbacks.
Europarlementariër Tineke Strik pleitte hier al lang voor.

Leggeri's email to his staff exposes the reasons why he damaged Frontex: resisting and even ridiculing its task to prevent and combat human rights violations at the borders. Guarding the borders and human rights compliance should be intrinsically linked in the EU.
RT @stluedke: Exclusive: In his last email to staff, Fabrice #Leggeri denies Frontex's involvement in pushbacks ("I could rebuke all allegations") and complains Frontex’…

Ontslag Frontex directeur Leggeri is eerste stap om mensenrechten hoog op de agenda te krijgen in het Agentschap. Nu grondige wijziging structuur en cultuur Frontex. Maar ook lidstaten en Commissie moeten hun verantwoordelijkheid nemen om pushbacks effectief uit te bannen.

Leggeri resigns because 'Frontex mandate has silently but effectively changed'. Meaning: I never understood that Frontex must protect fundamental rights in all its actions. Next director must make this a top priority. But also the Commission needs to stop impunity at the borders.
RT @stluedke: Following our investigations, #Frontex Director Fabrice #Leggeri has offered his resignation and communicated his decision to the Managemen…

We are waiting for confirmation, but Legerri's resignation (and his immediate right hand) is the only chance for Frontex to start prioritising fundamental rights and prevent violations instead of covering them up. His departure should not be 'prevented'. https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/brussels-playbook/trouble-at-frontex-ruble-roulette-jeppes-replacement/
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/Tineke_Strik/status/1519942370363650048
Again, journalists find evidence of @Frontex's involvement in pushbacks, conveniently labelled 'prevention of departure'.
My reaction in @guardian: “Fundamental change in leadership is needed, Leggeri lost all credibility to protect fundamental rights”.
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/Tineke_Strik/status/1519669875819655168
Again, Frontex seems to legitimize pushbacks by accepting Greece’s lies. Don’t they understand it makes the agency complicit? They should prevent instead of facilitate fundamental rights violations.

The humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is zo epic, dire and alarming, that frozen assets should be used to support the Afghan people. Like the UN experts, the Parliament made this urgent call. There is no time to waste. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2022-0128_EN.html
