The European Commissions first Annual Asylum and Migration Report highlights Spain, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus as facing significant migratory pressure. The Commission proposes an Annual Solidarity Pool, requiring member states to contribute based on population and economic output. However, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia refuse to participate, challenging the EUs new migration policy. Failing to comply could result in legal action. Despite a 35% decrease in illegal border crossings, challenges persist, including irregular arrivals and migration weaponization by Russia and Belarus.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
