IBM, Atos and Leonardo. Wow. What an unholy combination. It's like choosing arsenic as an ingredient and wondering why your dinner guests died

I get the impression the issue is more to do with the top down edict, compared to eg talking to each country and understanding their border patrol situation and offering to improve that first with resources. It came off the back of a turbulent period where border patrol strikes during COVID and the situation was just about stabilising. Pretty bad timing imo

Border security is controlled by each member state and you can't just ignore that fact and pass some EU wide harmonised change and just hope for the best
