EU ministers' not-so-subtle rightward shift on migration
Thursday’s Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting has laid bare the stark shift in EU member states' approach to migration, as right-wing politics gain ground across the bloc.
While ministers are due to discuss issues related to Schengen and security, the focal point will be a working lunch where ministers will explore new migration deals with third countries and how to make the return of irregular migrants more efficient.
The obvious harder line that is being taken on both asylum and irregular migration comes as member states face increasing pressure at the EU's external borders, pushing for the adoption of tougher measures and possible deals with new countries.
To break this down host Evi Kiorri spoke with our Paris-based reporter, Théo Bourgery-Gonse.
