Editorial: El País

• The EU continues taking measures that seem to contradict the values it claims to uphold, becoming a more hostile place for migrants and refugees.
• The European Commission has backed the possibility for Member States to send asylum seekers who have been rejected to internment camps in third countries.
• Families and unaccompanied minors are excluded from this regulation.
• The policy of extra-community deportation camps proposed by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been rejected three times in Italy.
• Europe's real migration problem lies in having allowed the populists to dictate the agenda and propose unsustainable solutions.

Conclusion: The hardening of EU migration policies poses a definitive challenge to the values the organization claims to represent, with a growing influence of populist and far-right political actors.
