NEW DETENTION PROFILES: A Focus on the Visegrad
Originally created in 1991 to assist European integration and to support mutual security and socio-economic goals, the Visegrad Group is an alliance of four Central European EU member states, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Today, they are among Europe’s most stridently anti-immigrant countries. They fiercely oppose EU refugee and migrant relocation quotas, have voted in right-wing anti-migrant governments, and have increased their detention and deportation efforts. However, only one of the Visegrad countries—Hungary—has experienced significant refugee pressures since the onset of Europe’s migration “crisis.”
