The European Union has signed off on landmark migration and asylum policy reforms. The new Migration Pact, adopted today, introduces a mandatory migrant relocation quota system, compelling all member states to accept a portion of migrants arriving by boat to the EU or face a fine of EUR 20,000 for each rejected migrant. This reform aims to address the bloc's failed asylum system and is seen as a strategic move by mainstream parties to counter the populist surge and deprive the far right of votes ahead of the upcoming European Parliament elections. Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia voted against the pact.
