Gérald Darmanin called on Monday, November 29, the United Kingdom to open a “legal access to immigration” and to take “his responsibilities” about this question. “Today people who want to seek asylum in England have no other means than to cross the Channel”, said the Minister of the Interior on BFMTV. The day before, he had participated in an intergovernmental meeting on the migration crisis, from which the British had been excluded.
The participants in this meeting in Calais agreed “to improve joint cooperation with the United Kingdom”, faced with the increase in attempts to cross the Channel. “This is because there is no legal route for immigrants to go to Britain, and because [qu’ils travaillent] without an identity card in England that there is this call for air “, assured Gérald Darmanin.
“What to do with the English? And although they change their legislation, that they take their responsibilities“, he said, ensuring that 30,000 asylum applications are registered in the United Kingdom each year, against about 150,000 in France. “I am completely ready to discuss” with the British “provided that we have a normal relationship and of equal temper”, continued Gérald Darmanin, also assuring that he and his counterpart Priti Patel were called “almost every day”.
