The militarised policies of Fortress Europe have killed over 60,620 people since 1993. Drowned in the Mediterranean; shot at borders; died by suicide at detention centres, tortured and killed after being deported – the EU has blood on its hands.
Frontex is the largest EU agency and the European Union’s border police force. It is a key actor in the EU’s war on people who move. With a 5.6 billion euro budget, Frontex will soon have an army of 10,000 border guards able to own and use firearms. Across and beyond the EU, the agency deploys ships, planes, drones, patrol cars, and radars; it takes active part in deportations; it helps third countries surveil and police people on the move. It’s time to abolish Frontex and the system it represents.
Abolish Frontex is a decentralised and autonomous network of groups, organisations and individuals. The aim of Abolish Frontex is not to reform or improve Frontex, or to replace it with more of the same. But rather to target the policies and system that keeps Frontex in place.
Abolish Frontex is working towards ending the EU border regime; dismantling the border-industrial complex, and building a society where people are free to move and live.
Abolish Frontex honours and is grounded in respect for all the work that has come before and continues to be done at local, national and international levels in the struggle against borders, deportation, detention and structural racism.
Our Vision: Anti-Racism. Decolonisation. Social Justice. Equality. Freedom of Movement. End the EU border regime.
