The European Commission has rejected a citizens' initiative called 'Save Europe Act', which proposed a moratorium on migration from non-Western countries. The initiative was launched by Dutch commentator and activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek and Austrian activist Martin Sellner. They sought to restrict legal migration channels, halt asylum processing for economic migrants, and limit family reunification visas for non-Europeans. The Commission stated that the proposal discriminates based on race and ethnicity and violates EU values outlined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The initiative would have required at least one million signatures from citizens of at least seven member states to proceed.
