PARIS: French prime minister Elisabeth Borne called on the EU on Saturday to join forces to support Italy, which faces a migration crisis on the island of Lampedusa, reported Sputnik. “I think today is the time, first of all, for solidarity with Italy, and also for the EU to mobilise to come to the rescue,” Borne told French broadcaster BFMTV.
On Sept 13, Lampedusa authorities declared a state of emergency after more than 8,000 undocumented migrants arrived on the island in three days, which is more than the island’s permanent population. Lampedusa mayor Filippo Mannino said the situation on the island was “close to the point of no return.”
