How do you feel about another ‘solution’ to the migrant crisis, but you’re not allowed to know about it?
Would it matter if nothing is scheduled to happen until mid-2026 at the earliest?

And supposing it means the UK choosing between paying billions to a foreign power or taking more migrants?
Not keen? Well, that’s what you would get in the EU
We reveal the Commission’s latest (secret) move
Yesterday in Brussels the EU Commission launched its latest plan to implement its Pact on Migration and Asylum which has been effectively stalled for years. With the Pact devised by bureaucrats in Brussels, it’s fair to say that since its launch in 2020 it went down like a lead balloon in many EU countries. Re-launches have come and gone. The Commission of Ursula von der Leyen has now come up with its latest cunning plan, entitled the ’first Annual Migration Management Cycle’.
By far the best part of this new plan, for the Eurocrats inhabiting the Berlaymont Building in Brussels, is that they no longer have to proclaim how inclusive and open they are being. They have solved this by making all the details completely secret and hidden from the public.
Revealed: The most secret and undemocratic move yet by von der Leyen's EU Commission
Today, Facts4EU in association with GB News can expose the most undemocratic move yet by the EU Commission – and on a subject close to the hearts and minds of tens of millions in the UK and 400+ million people in the EU.
For the past six years, the EU Commission has been trying in vain to impose its ‘Pact on Migration and Asylum’ on all its member states. It has tried re-presenting it in various guises but thus far little progress has been made. Yesterday Frau von der Leyen’s Commission unveiled its latest plan, which involves something called a ’first Annual Migration Management Cycle’. This in turn is based on ‘The EU's Annual Asylum and Migration Report’ which has a profound effect on an ‘Annual Solidarity Pool’.
EU's Annual Asylum and Migration Report
This will now be another annual report from the Commission. It might have been thought the Commission would have been conducting regular assessments into the immigration crisis across the bloc many years ago, but this 2025 report is the first of its kind. In a revelatory summary, the Commission concludes:
“Based on the information and evidence from the European Annual Asylum and Migration Report, the Commission finds that across the Union, Member States face various migratory situations and pressures.”
- EU Commission statement, 11 Nov 2025
This insight is unlikely to be greeted with surprise by the member states. The report goes on, however, to grade each country according to what it perceives to be the state of its migration pressures. In all, 20 out of the 27 countries are deemed to under or at risk of migratory pressure, or are facing a ‘significant migratory situation. These three categories matter, it seems, because they determine the level of help, financial or otherwise, they can expect from the Commission. In effect it determines who pays in the most and receives nothing, and who pays in the least and receives the most.
The ’Annual Solidarity Pool’
Firstly, some translation is required. When the Commission refers to ‘solidarity’, it means the opposite. The word is generally used when some countries will have to make sacrifices to subsidise others, and they are not keen on the idea.
Greece and Cyprus are the lucky Top 2 swimmers in the ‘Solidarity Pool’ race. They are most likely to receive significant funds next year, followed closely by Spain and Italy. A further 12 countries are deemed at risk because of:
“high numbers of arrivals in the preceding year, ongoing strains on their reception systems or the threat of weaponisation of migration that could create disproportionate obligations in the upcoming year.”
- EU Commission, 11 Nov 2025
These 12, which include France, will be the lucky winners when it comes to access to the ‘EU Migration Support Toolbox’. This has the feel of being a consolation prize for not getting any funds. Another six countries are then in a category which gives them "the possibility to request the Council grant a full or partial deduction from their contributions”. Clearly the remaining seven countries will all be paying into this ‘Pool’ in full.
The ‘naughty children’ clause

Some member countries who have defied the Commission – Orban’s Hungary springs to mind - will be excluded, it seems. They will not receive funds even if they are under migratory pressure ”if the Commission has identified systemic shortcomings in that Member State with regard to the new responsibility rules.”

Member countries will have to pay, but this plan is officially ‘secret’
Here we come to the most astonishing part of the whole plan. It’s secret. The public is not allowed to know about the Commission’s deliberations and decisions. Critically, this also means that no citizen must know about the political brawling which is likely to take place. The Commission explicitly states “this proposal is not public.”
It is only when the fighting is over that “the Member States' solidarity contributions will be public and legally binding.”
Finally, what the Commission says and what they really mean
Yesterday, two of the Commissioners stressed the continual messages of ‘solidarity’ and ‘responsibility’. Here are some excerpts.
“To manage migration in a fair and orderly way, solidarity and responsibility must go hand in hand.
With today’s launch of the Annual Migration Management Cycle we are putting the Pact’s principles of solidarity and responsibility into practice”
- Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Brussels, 11 Nov 2025
“Preserving this balance between solidarity and responsibility is key to our success.”
- Magnus Brunner, Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Brussels, 11 Nov 2025
And here are our Brexit Facts4EU translations of the key words
‘Solidarity’ = ‘Subsidy’. Fuller translation: “If you are the EU’s Regional Mayor, (sometimes known as the Prime Minister), of a region that is wealthy and you don’t have a particularly bad problem, your citizens are not going to be happy. Your taxpayers are going to have to subsidise other, generally less wealthy member states. That’s why we’re keeping this plan secret from them until your obligations are legally binding.”
‘Responsibility’ = ‘Enforced Directives’. Fuller translation: “If we say you have a ‘Responsibility’ you won’t like it but it’s your duty to obey the instructions. Your taxpayers won’t like it but they don’t get a say or a vote, so you - and they - just have to suck it up.”
Observations
How does this EU immigration plan help with Macron’s Migrants?
The simple answer is that it doesn’t except for one important thing. We are no longer in the EU and will not have to pay billions into this 'Pool'.
There is not one word in the hundreds of pages about the Pact on the Commission’s website concerning the UK. In the 206-page Asylum Report 2025 the UK is mentioned just once, and that relates to a 'Displaced Talent for Europe' pilot project – nothing to do with the UK’s immigration problem from France.
It would seem that Sir Keir’s infamous ‘Re-Set Relations Summit’ with the EU in May this year, when he gave away the UK’s fishing rights for a further 12 years for nothing in return, did not extend to helping the UK with the flood of illegal migrants coming from Macron’s France, now in its eighth year and breaking all records.
Naturally, if the UK were a member of the EU, as its second-largest economy it would fall into the category of those who should demonstrate ‘Solidarity’ and ‘Responsibility’, and cough up billions to help other countries with their problems.
This is yet another example of the British people ‘dodging a bullet’ by being an independent country.
