European Agency to repatriate 33000 migrants
The European agency "Frontex" announced that it assisted EU countries in returning over 33,000 migrants to countries outside the union during the first half of 2026, an increase from around 30,000 in the same period last year. Most of these repatriation operations were voluntary (two-thirds of the cases), with assistance for reintegration reaching 14,000 people compared to 8,000 the previous year. Germany, France, Cyprus, Belgium, and Sweden led the repatriation efforts. This coincided with the European Parliament's approval of new rules for a common return system, along with expectations to enhance Frontex’s powers in this area.
