The European Parliament approved the controversial EU Asylum and Migration Pact, mandating countries to accept new arrivals or face penalties. MEPs from key political groups supported the legislation, while nationalists like Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella opposed it, citing concerns about centralized EU power and forced migrant distribution. Left-wing activists protested the bill for humanitarian reasons, and Hungary's government reinforced its opposition to the pact, stressing border security.
