Meloni, Frederiksen Reiterate Opposition to 'Uncontrolled Immigration'
The two leaders said Europe should expand deportations and build return hubs in third countries after 72,000 people crossed into Ceuta.
- On Monday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Danish Premier Mette Frederiksen published a joint statement calling for tougher migration policies, increased deportations, and third-country return hubs to manage "uncontrolled migration."
- Meloni and Frederiksen contend that uncontrolled immigration has caused rising crime rates, increased pressure on public services, and erosion of public trust, vowing to "protect" Europe's Christian cultural heritage.
- Repatriation centres in third countries, similar to Italy's trial in Albania, are necessary, they stated; compliance with national laws and respect for European values must apply to both irregular and legal migrants.
- Signed by 22 member states, an open letter to European Union institutions led by the two leaders demanded urgent action to strengthen external borders and address so-called "pull factors" driving illegal migration.
- Following the July crisis in Ceuta where about 72,000 people crossed from Morocco, both leaders have criticized the Spanish Government and advocate for shifting the European Convention to expedite deportations of serious offenders.
