• The European Union can no longer ignore the misuse of its funds in migration agreements with third-party countries.
• Turkey has emerged as a European-funded confinement and deportation center, with widespread human rights violations in such centers.
• The EU has externalized its migration management, creating a containment dike on non-EU territory.
• Since 2016, Turkey has received over 11,500 million euros to manage refugee needs, but these funds have been largely associated with abuses.
• The European Commission has a responsibility to ensure that the treatment of migrants complies with European human rights standards.

Conclusion: In light of recent disclosure of abuses, Brussels must act with transparency and enforce stringent regulations for the dignified use of funds destined for immigration, aligning with the values Europe claims to uphold.
