After a meeting in Matignon led by Jean Castex, France invites the ministers responsible for immigration from neighboring countries to discuss the situation in Calais (Pas-de-Calais).
France invites the Belgian, German, Dutch and British ministers in charge of immigration as well as the European Commission to meet in Calais (Pas-de-Calais), Sunday, November 28. “Over the past thirty years, it is estimated that 300 people have died in the Calaisis. But this only reflects a small part of the migrants who died crossing the sea to reach the European Union. According to the High Commission for Refugees, at least 50,000 people have died in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe “, explains Jean Chamoulaud, journalist from France Télévisions.
“There are several gateways to enter the EU. The first leaves Turkey and goes as far as Greece. Since the beginning of the year, 2,500 have attempted the crossing, but 100 have died at sea. Yet , there is an agreement between the European Union and Turkey. The latter undertakes to keep migrants within its borders in exchange for six billion euros. The second option starts from North Africa and goes to the south of Spain or to Malta and Italy “, specifies the journalist.
