Externalising asylum applications and making funding to third countries conditional on the implementation of return agreements (topical debate)
Respect for the legal order is the cornerstone of the European Union. All Member States regard illegal border crossings as a serious criminal and misdemeanour offence. They are subject to prison sentences and high fines. Now, the extreme left in this EPP-, Renew- and SND-led parliament, instead of demanding respect for the legal order and leading millions of criminal proceedings against criminals who have illegally crossed our borders, they are now demanding that we violate our own regulations, do not initiate criminal and misdemeanour proceedings, give these people and these criminals housing, give jobs, take them away from the citizens of the European Union. Is that it? Is it modern Europe? The extreme left, led by the EPP, is dangerous for this Europe.
