‘Send them back’ chants in EU Parliament after anti-migrant bill passes
The European Parliament approved the Return of Migrants law by 418 votes to 218, prompting right-wing MEPs to chant 'send them back' and left-wing lawmakers to respond with 'shame on you.' The EU Parliament and Council also provisionally agreed to speed up migrant returns, citing low enforcement rates of 27% last year.
The European Parliament has approved a controversial law aimed at simplifying and speeding up the return of migrants staying in the bloc unlawfully, a move that sparked heated scenes in the chamber. Right-wing lawmakers led chants of 'send them back' after the vote, while left-wing MEPs responded by chanting 'shame on you' and raising their fists, as reported by Al Jazeera.
Coverage Comparison
Coverage of the development diverged in focus. Al Jazeera's report centered on the dramatic parliamentary reaction, describing the law as 'controversial' and leading with the protest chants. In contrast, France 24's coverage framed the agreement within the broader context of persistently low enforcement of deportation orders, noting that only 27 percent of deportation orders were enforced last year, down from 24 percent the previous year. France 24's report also highlighted the pressure from rising populist forces across the EU as a factor behind the move.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
