EU migration and asylum pact faces credibility test as implementation begins next week
By

Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The EU's migration and asylum pact, first proposed in 2020 and adopted in June 2024, is set to go live next week. The pact aims to establish new internal management rules for migration across EU states after a decade of political turmoil. However, the article suggests the EU's credibility is at stake, and the strategy of appeasing the far-right risks backfiring when the reforms fail to deliver as promised. Former Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas had claimed the pact could "sideline the extreme right," but the implementation is now seen as a losing battle.
