Part 3/8:
According to Frontex, the first ten months of 2024 have seen a dramatic decrease in irregular border crossings, which have dropped by 43%, amounting to just over 190,000 individuals. The figures from the previous years are stark; around 380,000 migrants reached the continent in 2023, and an even higher number—approximately 330,000—crossed the borders illegally in 2022. The current trend signals a collective effort among European nations to impose immigration restrictions and discourage further refugee and asylum-seeking attempts.
