European member state security forces, supported by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, known as Frontex, have pushed back around 40,000 refugees attempting to cross national borders during the pandemic, according to an investigation based on UN reports and records kept by NGOs. These actions have been linked to 2,000 migrant deaths, chiefly from boats taken back out to sea.
For more than a decade, researchers, UN agencies and NGOs have documented these illegal pushbacks. Now the European Anti-Fraud Office has launched an investigation into Frontex over claims that it is involved in illegally preventing refugees and other migrants from entering the EU.

Prime Minister Costa, Prime Minister Löfven,
Dear Presidents Sassoli, von der Leyen, and Michel,
Presidents, Prime Ministers,
Director-General of the ILO,
Ladies and gentlemen,
First my thanks to Prime Minister Costa for putting social rights firmly on the map and on our agenda by calling this Summit.
We meet today in Porto at a pivotal moment for Europe.
We are living in turbulent and fast-changing times. And it is critical that these changes happen in a socially-fair way.
During the pandemic, our welfare states have protected Europeans lives and income. And the EU showed true solidarity by immediately making the SURE instrument a reality to support Member States.
