Summary
Quotes
“The European Union has struck a deal with the Tunisian president: in exchange for a billion euros, he must ensure that no more people board boats to the European Union. But Europe is less concerned about how he does it. Yet the political leaders knew full well with whom they were negotiating.

Marc Botenga, “Migration agreement reveals a heartless Europe”, Belgian Labour Party, August 10, 2023.
