Quoting anecdotes he picked up when speaking to people on Malta’s streets, Engerer said that many think that Europe has failed when it comes to the issue. The same sentiment was shared by migrants both in detention centres or free.

This, despite the council having eight years to discern a common position. Engerer said that the parliament has established a strong position but have had to await the council for these same eight years.

He also offered his critique of the Commission’s deal with Tunisia which will see Tunis receiving monetary boosts in exchange for tightened control across borders.

Engerer ended the speech saying that citizens deserve a solution and that ‘it is our duty to give them one.’

FIFA 2030 Will Take Place On 3 Continents & 6 Countries

Oct 5 2023

In an unexpected move, FIFA’s governing council has approved a unique format for the 2030 World Cup, which will span six countries on three continents to commemorate its centenary edition.

Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will each host an opening match before the tournament shifts to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.

Initially, these nations had submitted separate regional bids, but the three-nation proposal of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco was ultimately selected. While this decision offers a novel approach, it has faced opposition due to concerns about its environmental impact.

The first World Cup in 1930 featured 13 teams in Uruguay, but the event has since grown exponentially, becoming a massive financial success for FIFA.

The upcoming 2026 edition will be the largest yet, with 48 teams spread across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This expansion poses logistical challenges, such as visa arrangements and taxation.

Critics argue that FIFA’s latest move disregards the environment and priorities commercial interests. Additionally, it paves the way for Saudi Arabia, a close ally of FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino, to potentially secure the 2034 tournament, as only teams from Asia and Oceania will be eligible to bid.

This decision has sparked debate within the football community, with fans expressing concerns about the tournament’s evolving nature.
