(ANSA) - LONDON, AUGUST 05 - New daily record of migrant landings headed to the United Kingdom from France through the Manica this week: this is certified by the British Ministry of the Interior (Home Office), specifying that yesterday at least 482 arrivals were registered, more than the previous record established just a few weeks ago.
In total, since the beginning of the year, landings through this route have thus risen to over 10,000, according to estimates by the PA news agency, a sharp increase compared to the approximately 8,500 recorded in the whole of 2020.
The government of Boris Johnson has imposed a strict post-Brexit regulation in recent months and has committed in particular - through the mouth of the Minister of the Interior, PritiPatel, super hawk of the Tory team - to put a stop to the growing flow of illegal boats and " to fight the traffickers of human beings "in the waters of the Canal; but so far the results are hard to see. In July, Patel herself signed an ad hoc agreement with her French colleague Gerald Darmanin in which London undertakes to pay a contribution of 62.7 million euros to Paris between 2021 and 2022 to finance the operations to combat illegal immigration in departure.
