Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are preparing to sue the European Commission over the 7.4-billion-euro aid package extended to Egypt in March, aimed at stopping migration. The dealâsimilar to others the EU has pursued in recent yearsâhas been criticized for ignoring human rights concerns. “Throwing money at dictators is not migration policy,” one MEP said. On May 2, the EU announced a 1-billion-euro aid package for Lebanon, also aimed at stemming migration.
