  3. **Belgium and Sweden want to step up expulsions of illegal migrants**

    The heads of government of Belgium and Sweden called, on Wednesday, for better protection of the external borders of the European Union and reinforced procedures for the expulsion of irregular migrants, after the attack which left two dead in Brussels.

    “We cannot ignore” that the radicalized man suspected of having killed two Swedes on Monday evening “was a person from illegal immigration”, underlined the Belgian Prime Minister, Alexander De Croo, during a joint press conference with his Swedish counterpart, Ulf Kristersson, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

    “We need to tackle this problem and we can only do it if we do it in a coordinated way,” he added. Alexander De Croo called for “better protection of the EU’s external borders” and “a more resolute and more coordinated return policy” for people whose right to asylum has been rejected to their country of origin.

    The alleged perpetrator of the attack in Brussels, a 45-year-old Tunisian presented by the media as Abdesalem Lassoued, was illegally staying in Belgium, after the rejection of an asylum request in 2020, and targeted by a detention order. leave the territory that has never been executed.
    Link with desecrations of the Koran

    A few hours before a football match between Belgium and Sweden, he shot dead two Swedish fans with an automatic weapon and injured a third before fleeing on a scooter. A link seems established with the desecrations of the Koran in Sweden which provoked anger in the Muslim world.

    “Being firm in defending democracy, tolerance, openness and freedom also requires that we be firm on security,” said the Swedish Prime Minister. “We must be able to protect our borders. We need to know who is in Sweden, legally or illegally. If people are not here legally, they must be forced to leave the country,” continued Ulf Kristersson.

    Ursula von der Leyen called for the European framework to be “urgently” tightened. “The Commission has proposed that if a person is considered a threat to national security, member states can force them to leave,” she said, specifying that this provision appeared in the Asylum and Migration Pact currently being implemented. negotiation in the EU. This year, 65,000 people have already been sent back from the EU, while the number of orders to leave the territory stands at around 400,000 per year, according to figures from the European Commission.

    Alexander De Croo and Ulf Kristersson participated on Wednesday morning in a ceremony of contemplation at the site of the attack, where they laid wreaths of flowers with a football jersey and a Swedish supporter’s scarf.

  4. All we ask is to expulse from the EU those migrants who commit crime.

    Make a deal with a country in Africa, and let them handle the criminals for us in exchange of aid.

    Keeping this shit happening will only feed the far right, its in the hands to fix it.,

  5. Circus. You cannot expel anybody which home country refuses to take back, and most African countries refuse to take these undesirable people back, especially when they are terrorists.

  6. Wow, can’t be… the same Swedes that claimed Poland is racist and …phobic when we defended our border not so long ago and didn’t “welcome everyone”. How strange … sth. must have happen.

  7. Unfortunately, nothing will happen before the ECHR is thoroughly reformed.
