London urges France to cooperate in the migration dispute
Great Britain is pressing for support from France in the migration dispute. Illegal immigration has to stop, but of course you can’t do it yourself, you need the French, said British Health Minister Javis to Sky News. He referred to a letter from Prime Minister Johnson to French President Macron in which the government in London proposed joint measures to prevent migrants from crossing France. Last Wednesday, a rubber dinghy with migrants capsized in the English Channel. 27 people died in the process. France and Great Britain then covered each other with accusations. Johnson’s suggestion was that joint patrols should prevent more refugee boats from leaving the French coast for Great Britain. Originally, a meeting between EU interior ministers and the EU Commission with the British head of department Patel was planned for Sunday in Calais. The government in Paris then withdrew its invitation to the British. The consultations between France and the representatives of the EU Commission, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands should nevertheless take place.
