EU pledges crackdown on ‘brutal’ migrant smuggling

  • EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Lampedusa to address the increasing influx of migrants from North Africa, promising swift returns to their home countries and a crackdown on smugglers.
  • The constant flow of migrants has caused tensions on the island, with residents expressing impatience and witnessing countless tragedies. Italy's Giorgia Meloni called for a naval blockade of North Africa to prevent departures, while von der Leyen offered aid and support to Italy.
  • The crisis is challenging unity within the EU, and far-right politicians like Matteo Salvini and Marine Le Pen are using the situation to push their anti-immigration agendas ahead of the EU elections.
