More ‘crisis’, please : on Frontex’s crisis mentality and number gaming
Frontex’s latest update on the Central Mediterranean route states that migration pressure on Italy ‘remained high in June, with the number of migrants arriving in Italy last month increasing by 24% from the previous month’. This may be factually true but also another example of Frontex’s spinning facts to feed a crisis mentality and moral panic around sea arrivals. Is this part of a strategy to justify the Agency’s enhanced role as the EU border policing agency?
