Lawyers against Frontex must be heard by Parliament s scrutiny working group

A legal action has been filed against Frontex for the first time in the EU border agency’s 17-year history over its human rights violations in the Aegean Sea. Earlier this week, a group of lawyers from Front-Lex, Progress Lawyers Network and Greek Helsinki Monitor made their submission to the EU Court of Justice over Frontex’s abuse. Left MEPs have welcomed this unprecedented and long overdue action. However, our request for the lawyers to be invited to present their case to the European Parliament’s Frontex Scrutiny Working Group have been repeatedly blocked by the liberal, conservative and far-right political groups. This request for the lawyers to give evidence will be decided this coming Monday (31/5/2021).
