Liderul partidului naţionalist britanic Reform UK, Nigel Farage, doreşte „să abolească” sistemul de azil dacă va ajunge la putere

Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, announced plans to abolish the asylum system if elected, which would cancel all pending and future applications. He described the current situation as a national security emergency and proposed a five-year suspension of the asylum system. Despite a decline in support, Reform UK remains second in polls, facing competition from the far-right party Restore Britain. The party is also under investigation for its funding, with Farage denying any wrongdoing. Asylum applications in the UK have decreased significantly, reaching the lowest level since 2022, but preventing asylum requests is illegal under the Geneva Convention.
