(ANSA) - LONDON, 02 AUG - New daily peak of illegal migrants arriving in the United Kingdom from France through the Manica.
This was revealed by the London Ministry of Defense, on the basis of the data recorded on Monday, with 696 "illegal immigrants" surveyed, a record of landings in the 24 hours since the beginning of 2022.
The estimate exceeds that of 651 certified on 13 April.
Almost 700 migrants have been identified on board 14 smugglers' boats engaged in the trafficking of human beings.
This is an embarrassing indication for the conservative government of the resigning Boris Johnson, as well as for the two candidates to succeed him, both prominent ministers in his team in recent years: the now very favorite Liz Truss, holder of Foreign Affairs in office, and Rishi Sunak, cancellieredello Scacchiere until July.
Both Johnson and his aspiring heirs are in fact pledged to promise a strict post-Brexit on illegal immigration (the flow of which London attributes at least in part to insufficient controls in Paris) that is struggling to materialize.
Even after
A plan that was privately criticized according to the media even by Prince Charles, heir to the throne - as well as by the opposition parties, by various associations for the protection of human rights and by the UN - but which Truss and Sunak ensure they want to carry on.
And which, however, remains on paper for now, after the postponement of the first flight imposed by international appeals in front of international justice, despite the repeated proclamations of the Minister of the Interior, Priti Patel, super falcoTory.
