The European Border and Coast Guard Agency celebrates two decades of unstoppable growth, marred by accusations of human rights violations and lack of transparency.
"We call for a Europe that prioritizes reception and protection, ensuring medical assistance, ending violence along borders, establishing a proactive search and rescue mechanism, that does not criminalize persons seeking refuge, and that guarantees legal and safe routes."

The organization assures that asylum requests cannot be processed, either online or in person, which leaves people in a situation of lack of protection.
The New European Pact regulating migration and asylum does not come close to guaranteeing access to the asylum procedure with every guarantee and will encourage collective returns of migrants and potential applicants for international protection.

The humanitarian organisation has claimed that the EU collaborates with the government of Eritrea and other countries to stop them from reaching Europe.
The inaction of the European Union regarding the refugee crisis is an example of institutional racism, writes SOS Racisme's director Alba Cuevas.
