Then when it comes to Europe (because we see similar narratives play out)... Stats from European Borders ===================== Overview of Asylum in Europe: The European Union Agency for Asylum published their Mid-Year Review for 2024, from January to June. The main take-aways are: - The EU+ received 513,000+ applications for asylum. - The recognition rate - which reflects the percentage of asylum applications that receive decisions granting refugee status and subsidiary protection – is 46%, the highest level since 2016. The top 4 nationalities for asylum seekers in 2024 are Syrians, Afghans, Venezuelans and Colombians. Under the Schengen Free Area in Spain, Venezuelan and Colombian nationals are not required to get a visa to stay in Spain, which means they could travel there through a legal pathway by plane and then ask for asylum. Germany remains the top country of asylum, with 24% of the total applications, but with a decrease (–20%) compared to 2023. Spain ranked 2nd & Italy 3rd
