Every evening from 6 p.m., Manon Mella and her guests debate with Internet users on the franceinfo Twitch channel.
This was the case last week, on the night of June 13 to 14, the worst shipwreck off Greece since 2016. The boat was carrying 750 people: 78 died, only 104 could be rescued. All the others disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea, which turns out to be the deadliest route in the world for migrants, according to data from the “Missing Migrants Project”, led by a UN agency.
The United Nations Secretary-General said he was horrified by this tragedy. European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen expressed her “deep sadness”. Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior, speaks of a “collective failure”. Words, reactions… but what about action?
Manon Mella receives Rock HenryPresident of France Fraternité, and Nejma Brahim, journalist at the international division of Médiapart, in the Talk to discuss it.
A scenario that keeps repeating itself.
A year and a half ago, a shipwreck of migrants took place in the English Channel, 27 people had lost their lives. The Secretary of State for the Sea, Hervé Berville, then promised an “internal” investigation to shed light on possible shortcomings by French rescuers, but according to the latest revelations from the newspaper Le Monde, no investigation has been carried out. company since.
This time again, many questions arise, in particular concerning the role of the Greek coastguards. NGOs accuse them of not having intervened when the trawler was in danger and they had been warned. What exactly happened? What role does Libya play in all of this? What is Europe’s share of responsibility in the multiplication of these shipwrecks?
Join us from 6 p.m. Monday to Friday on the franceinfo Twitch channel to participate in Manon Mella’s Talk. An hour of exchange, clarification, debate around topical and social issues.
