Ban on entry from Africa? Someone in Italy is delusional. Word of Mattarella (to Macron)

Ban on entry from Africa? Someone in Italy is delusional. Word of Mattarella (to Macron)

What Mattarella said about migrants, Africa and beyond to Macron during the visit of the head of state to France

"In Italy, someone is under the illusion that it is possible to put the no entry sign" from Africa.

This was stated by the head of state, Sergio Mattarella, during the conversation behind closed doors with Macron, listened to by a reporter from Ansa from the internal Elysée TV channel.

Support for Africa, he continued, is a “need” as well as a “historical obligation of solidarity as well”.

Mattarella also reiterated that we must concretely help Africa to prevent people from leaving their countries and therefore stop migration.

Mattarella, in particular, speaking with Emmanuel Macron about the migratory phenomenon, observed that it must be governed. Otherwise – it is his reasoning – one is overwhelmed by occasional waves of crises that occur in the countries of origin. The theme of migrants was posed by the French President.

"On the Libyan question we have convergences and common concerns," said the French head of state, Emmanuel Macron, speaking alongside President Sergio Mattarella at the Elysée after the meeting between the two this morning.

"There has been an incessant joint work that has been structured over the last few months – continued Macron – with joint visits by our ministers, then with joint work at the Berlin Conference, and joint work that will take place under the presidency French Security Council next week, to make progress on this chapter ”. On the Sahel, “Italy is a country to which we pay tribute for its commitment, in particular with its contribution to the Takuba force and its involvement in humanitarian operations”.
