Electoral hopefuls will be able to campaign on the New Pact on Migration and Asylum, an all-encompassing reform that would introduce predictable, collective rules to manage the reception and relocation of asylum seekers, endorsed in March by the Parliament after years of deadlock between member states. Making the most out of the untested reform will be one of the top priorities for the bloc in the next mandate, particularly after the number of asylum applications reached 1.14 million in 2023, a seven-year high.
