European Parliament LIVE: EU Lawmakers Debate & Vote On Divisive Migration Policy | Europe | IN18L The European parliament is to vote on Wednesday on sweeping new laws to overhaul its migration policy amid renewed criticism that it is feeding the agenda of the extreme right rather than protecting vulnerable people. Ylva Johansson, the home affairs commissioner who was the driving force behind the legislation, said on Tuesday that with the reforms aimed at “managing migration in an orderly way”, the 27-member bloc was taking a step towards neutralising the populist far right. “We have already taken away a lot of the arguments from the far right by reaching this agreement,” she told reporters, adding: “I hope we will get the vote because it has been a long journey, a marathon.” “It will really be a big, big moment for Europe, showing that we can deal with very challenging political issues in an environment that is challenging,” she said. #europe #migrationnews #europenewslive #cnbctv18live
