Migration pressure
“We are working with the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes
(Bernard Gonzalez, Ed)
on long-term solutions.
However, the situation is too urgent and requires strong, immediate and concerted action”

“particularly impacted by this migratory pressure due to their geographical position and their proximity to the Italian border
