Mari Rantanen, Finland’s Interior Minister, criticized Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez’s decision to regularize undocumented migrants, arguing it threatens the Schengen area. She emphasized the need for collective responsibility in migration policies among EU countries. Spain's plan to regularize 500,000 migrants aims to address labor shortages but has faced disapproval from the EU. Rantanen discussed Finland's tightened asylum policies and interest in EU return hubs for rejected asylum seekers. She also highlighted the need for effective solidarity mechanisms and tackling people smuggling, while expressing concerns about human rights violations.
