The expansion of Frontex – with its own standing corps, its own budget to purchase/lease equipment, the possibility of operations in non-EU-countries and far-reaching powers to force EU member states to strengthen border security – must finally be stopped. #AbolishFrontex

The EU border agency Frontex cooperates with arms companies from the genocidal Israeli regime. When we say No Borders, we also mean Free Palestine. The work of abolishing borders has always been connected to global movements against empire and colonialism.

Universities must stop cooperating with Frontex. Scholars should actively oppose any university contracts with Frontex, as was the case with Turin Polytechnic University: www.statewatch.org/news/2021/no...

The EU uses people on the move as guinea pigs for its new technologies of digital and biometric surveillance, with Frontex at the forefront of implementing these technologies. We must defend the digital rights of everyone! #AbolishFrontex

Arms and security companies are profiting from the EU's obsession with fortifying its borders - and Frontex is right in the middle to make sure they cash in big. People on the move have the same digital rights as everyone else. Abolish Frontex and stop the surveillance!

The arms and security industry is not only profiting from the militarisation of EU borders, they are actively lobbying for it - and Frontex is an increasingly important partner for them. #AbolishFrontex

Violence at the borders must stop! Everyone has the right to move to seek a better life and nobody should be stopped or violated for doing so. At the borders, Frontex shows its true face and reveals the violence inherent to the agency. Abolish Frontex, abolish borders!

At least 120,457 pushbacks took place at Europe’s external borders in 2024—equivalent to roughly 330 per day. Pushbacks are no longer an exception, they are a systematic, illegal and deadly practice. We say: Abolish Frontex, end pushbacks, tear down all borders! pers.11.be/over-120000-...

Libya is not a safe country. Frontex must stop transmitting the location of migrant boats to the Libyan Coast Guard - that's what our most recent case with @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social and @davidyambio.bsky.social aims at. Full interview: www.eldiario.es/desalambre/j...

Despite deadly pushbacks from Greece to Turkey, Frontex refuses to cut ties with the Hellenic Coast Guard, making itself complicit in these crimes. #AbolishFrontex

The EU is paying often authoritarian regimes in African countries to keep migrants away from EU borders - most recently Egypt, Tunisia, and Mauritania. This only forces people to take more dangerous routes. We demand an end to border externalisation and an end to Frontex!

Italy's border agency has acquired a new type of drone for patrols over the Mediterranean. They refuse to reveal the purpose of the patrols, but many suspect they will be used to support 'pullbacks' to Libya - just as with drone flights by Frontex. Read more by IrpiMedia: https://buff.ly/4hwLWZY

FOR THE THIRD TIME Meloni has shipped a handful of asylum seekers back & forth across the Adriatic. This is costing Italian taxpayers hundreds of millions. It is a farcical spectacle of cruelty that only serves to highlight the lack of control you get from the far right

“A pushback operation is a profound humiliation—being treated as if you are not a human being. When Frontex stands behind the suffering of me and my friends, it feels as if all of Europe wanted us to suffer. And that is the most humiliating thing of all.” euobserver.com/migration/ar...
