FROTEX is regularly “under fire” from non-governmental organisations that are opposed to its existence never mind its operations, FRONTEX is rarely “under fire” from the European public that fund it.
“The surveillance footage from the airplane’s camera was transmitted live to an office in Warsaw, Poland, at the headquarters of Frontex, the European Union’s border patrol agency.
Two hours later, a Libyan Coast Guard cutter caught up with the migrants and ordered them to stop, even though they were well outside of Libyan waters.” and “Flying drones and airplanes over the Mediterranean, Frontex locates migrant rafts, then alerts the Italians, who, in turn, inform the Libyan authorities. “
It is very interesting and funny how americans journal start to notice now. Bear in mind that I’m pretty neutral on immigration issues, so maybe I’m not their best advocate and have biases. But anyway it’s pretty smart this tactic for sheltering guilt. Basically, Frontex should be obligated by international standards to help these ships, but they instead contact the Italians. Who being not officially present can in turn contact the Libyans. In an example, the Frontex press office said in a statement, “[Frontex] has never engaged in any direct cooperation with Libyan authorities.” Yes, sure they have.
“This collaboration has been the principal factor in a precipitous drop in the number of migrants reaching Europe: Around 20,000 migrants arrived in the first seven months of this year, down from 70,000 during the same period in 2016. Without the support of aerial reconnaissance from Frontex, the Libyan Coast Guard would in effect be searching with its eyes closed.” Also, very interesting. I found a lot of twitter journalists that I usually follow pro migrant and EU, not very happy. I wonder if this will lead them to change mind about the EU. Instead on the other side of nationalists that I follow, I found very very few people, suddenly finding themselves saying something pro EU. Maybe is not politically helpful? Who knows. If some comments want to answer this question, I would be grateful.
Its NBC, its just opinion based nonsense, trying to impose American nonsense values on to Europe. Frontex is not under fire from the public, just a couple of groups formed by rich kids in liberal colleges who come from gated communities that never have to deal with the crime, stagnant wages, and backwards beliefs that these migrants bring with them, and these people do it all just so they can feel better about their overindulgent lives.
Under fire from whom? From pro human trafficking journalists and NGO’s?

You can never win with the open borders brigade.
