Deal or no deal? EU’s flagship migration reform

With 2023 seeing a spike in arrivals on Europe’s shores and borders, migration is once again the pressing  issue across the continent. The European Commission’s vice-president, Margaritis Schinas, has urged member states to finalize a crucial deal over migration reform, telling ministers that a unified plan would be a means of fighting back against a rising tide of populism and smuggling networks.
