Following an extended period of preparation and numerous postponements, the European Commission finally presented on 23 September 2020 the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. What is new, however, and is there actually anything new in this massive document that integrates all aspects of EU’s migration policies? Have the lessons of the “migratory” crisis of recent years been learned and why is it that it has met with a series of criticisms from governments, policymakers, academics, and civil society organisations?
