France’s migrant hypocrisy

The French have revealed yet again their shameless hypocrisy in regard to Europe’s illegal migrants crisis that this year looks set to break all records.

Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, keen to divert attention from the riots that characterise France on his watch, managed to tell three lies in a single sentence last week about Italy’s new prime minister Giorgia Meloni.

Emanuel Macron’s right-hand man told Radio Monte Carlo: ‘Madame Meloni, a far-right government chosen by Madame Le Pen’s friends, is incapable of solving the migration problems on which she was elected.’

His remarks prompted Antonio Tajani, Italy’s foreign minister, who said they were ‘unacceptable’, to cancel a meeting that same day with French Foreign Minister, Catherine Colonna, to discuss among other things the migrant crisis.

You would have thought that the European Union which is founded on the free movement of goods and people within its borders would treat as a cardinal principle the necessity to move as one to protect the collective frontier.
