LONDON — The U.K. government’s plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda will cost upwards of six figures per person — if it ever gets off the ground. A Home Office economic assessment released Monday night revealed that the Rwanda plan — which was announced in spring 2022 but is yet to see a single flight take off amid legal challenge — will cost an estimated £169,000 per migrant.According to the government department’s own figures, it will cost an estimated £63,000 more to relocate an asylum seeker than it would to keep them in the U.K. The Home Office has pointed to a deterrent effect it believes the plan will have on those seeking to come to the U.K.Then-Home Secretary Priti Patel signed the relocation agreement with Rwanda’s foreign minister last year as part of efforts to curb high-levels of cross-Channel migration in small boats.The plan has faced a number of court challenges over human rights concerns, and the first scheduled flight in June 2022 was bloc...Key EU nature law in jeopardy after committee rejection
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:30:20 GMT
The EU’s flagship nature law failed to pass a key committee vote Tuesday, jeopardizing a key pillar of the bloc’s Green Deal plans. Lawmakers in the European Parliament’s environment committee (ENVI) voted 44 in favor to 44 against on adopting a position on the contentious Nature Restoration Law. A tie amounts to rejection, as it means there is no majority in favor.The legislation, an ambitious plan to return the Continent’s degraded natural areas to a healthy state, will nevertheless go to a plenary vote in the Parliament; the vote is scheduled for July 11.With two other committees having already voted against the proposal, ENVI’s failure to submit a position on the bill means MEPs will now have three weeks to find a compromise that’s acceptable to a majority in the whole Parliament, or risk rejection of the entire law.The backlash against the Nature Restoration Law was led by conservative MEPs and farmers’ groups, who claimed that the proposed rules threaten farmers’ li...Hungary’s Judit Varga will lead Orbán’s party in EU elections, report says
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:30:20 GMT
Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga will run in the European Parliament election next year as the ruling Fidesz party’s lead candidate, government-affiliated media reported Tuesday.Varga, whose portfolio includes EU affairs, is a well-known personality in Brussels for her confrontational rhetoric, social media posts criticizing EU institutions and deep loyalty to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.But she is also regarded in EU circles as a polyglot who knows Brussels well and as someone the relatively isolated Hungarian government can still dispatch to sit down with European officials. A lawyer by profession, Varga worked at the European Parliament as an adviser for Hungarian MEPs between 2009 and 2018. She was then plucked out of obscurity and made a minister of state for EU relations, the beginning of a meteoric rise through the ranks of Orbán’s associates, culminating in her appointment as jus...Latest news
