Rome, 1 Aug. (LaPresse) – “The images coming out of Ceuta have demonstrated once again just how urgent a European response to illegal immigration is. That is why Italy, together with Denmark, has promoted a letter signed by 22 EU Member States, calling for joint action to strengthen external borders, tackle irregular migration, combat human traffickers, make returns more effective and eliminate any factors that might encourage further illegal entries. This is an important signal: the position that Italy has long advocated is now shared by an ever-increasing number of European nations. The defence of the Union’s external borders is not in the interest of a single nation. It is a shared responsibility of Europe.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote this on social media.
