Thirty-eight MEPs from four political groups urged the European Commission to stop funding Libyan security forces due to violent actions against humanitarian vessels. They highlighted the ongoing political division in Libya and the escalation of violence at sea. The letter criticized the EU's financial support for the Libyan Coast Guard and called for a coordinated search-and-rescue mission in the Mediterranean, as well as a halt to cooperation with non-recognized entities. Concerns were raised about human rights violations linked to EU-funded activities.
