The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi said election season in wealthy countries tends to make politicians exaggerate the role of migrants and migration in certain political issues.
UNHCR reshared the commissioner’s tweet on Wednesday, which reads: “When elections approach in wealthy countries, refugees and migrants always become an issue.”
“The focus is on controls, pushbacks,” he added.
The focus “should be on real solutions: addressing root causes, building effective asylum systems, investing in integration,” he further stated in the same tweet, calling on people when voting to consider that.
