A group of French mayors has called for a renegotiation of the cross-Channel migrant deal with the UK, labeling Britain’s approach as hypocritical amid the migrant crisis.
The mayors accuse the UK of claiming to want to halt migrant crossings while allowing many of them to settle, urging for changes to better manage the situation.
They also emphasize the need to open legal migration routes into the UK to deter migrants from resorting to dangerous, illegal smuggling options.
Calais mayor Natacha Bouchart led the call for a new agreement to replace the 2003 Touquet treaty, aiming for a more fair and effective policy.
