"The EU's new Pact on Migration and Asylum is an opportunity to take a different approach. To take a breath, to remember the values that the European project was founded upon, and to dust off the good old fundamental rights and put them to use."

New EU migration pact must dust off fundamental rights (EUobserver, link):
"Not merely for the benefit of the European citizens, but also for those fleeing conflict and violence and seeking protection in Europe.
While the scale of global displacement is high and the challenges related to irregular migration are real in Europe and beyond, the situation remains manageable.
It requires the political leadership to insist on facts, instead of contributing to instilling unnecessary fear and insecurity in the European public by supporting unhelpful narratives of unmanageable movements and unprecedented crisis."
