The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, asked the French president Emmanuel Macron take back migrants arriving in England from France, after a shipwreck in the English Channel with a balance of 27 dead.
“I propose that we implement a bilateral readmission agreement to enable the return of all illegal migrants crossing the la la Mancha“, said the Briton in a letter to the French president, published on Twitter.
Remembering that “the EU has reached readmission agreements with countries such as Belarus and the Russian Federation, “Johnson said,” he hopes that such an agreement can be reached with the United Kingdom soon “.
“This measure would have an immediate effect and would considerably reduce, and even stop, crossings, thus saving lives by breaking the economic model of criminal mafias,” he added.
This statement comes after the shipwreck on Wednesday in the Mancha, with a balance of 27 dead migrants.
The event is the deadliest since the acceleration of the crossings through the English Channel in fortune vessels from 2018 due to the stricter control of the French port of Calais and the underwater railway tunnel, used until then by migrants trying to reach England.
The victims include 17 men, 7 women and 3 young people, as well as two survivors, according to a French judicial source. There would be a teenager and three children among the victims, said a police source.
