Frantex, EU Outdoor and Beach -Corner Border Company, is constantly questioned by human rights groups for not doing enough Save lives in the sea.
The agency uses drones or planes to find vessels that go to European beaches. Then warns the center of a coordination, and the migrant ships are usually Interrupted and returned To other Mediterranean beaches.
Among them is Libya, a major starting point Dangerous maritime crossings to EuropeStrict violations of the human rights of refugees and migrants, including torture, have been documented.
When the migrants are asked about the fate they face Re -deposited on Libyan soilLegdens showed a sad tone: “I don’t want people to return to Libya. The only way to do it is to report this maritime rescue coordination center,” he said. “If it is in the Libyan territory, the Libyans must take responsibility and do it.”
Legdens said they often ask him Why Frantex does not generally warn NGOs It considers the responsibility of restoring people at risk instead of limiting themselves to Libya.
“I mean I will play with human life, because if volunteers are not available, there is no coordination and then people may be immersed,” he explained. Legdens said ‘EuroNius’, despite their waiting fate, sometimes the best way to return Guarantee that immigrants will not sink.
“I can’t consider that responsibility. So, I don’t want people to return to Libya. If I want to choose, again, I want to save non -lives in order to save them“.
Save lives in the sea

One of the functions of Frantex Return to people He explained whose asylum demands have been rejected, and that this is possible for more cooperation with volunteers.
Plan to expand the Frenchx template
“For example, what we do. After turning people back, we have a call Withdrawal planThis is aimed at helping people to resume their lives, ”explained Legdens.
“For this, we appoint a volunteer to fulfill it in our name European Frantex Fund. So I think this is more sophisticated than what is said. “
Legdens, who has been in charge of Frandex for two years, has been reading the possibilities Expand the search and recovery tasks of Frantex. European Commission Chairman Ursula Van Der Lain proposed Increase the agency template Of the 30,000, a number that can give a significant impulse to the work of Frantex to ensure the outer boundaries of Europe.
