Church Brewing: where the customers are the congregation and the choir | SaltWireGENEVA - The new head of the UN migration agency on Monday voiced concern that the deaths of migrants and refugees in the Mediterranean were being"normalised" and vowed to work with governments to provide options for economic migration to address the crisis.
In recent days, an Italian minister and billionaire Elon Musk have criticised Germany for backing charities helping distressed migrants on the world's most dangerous route, the Mediterranean, where 22,000 people have died or gone missing since 2014. Germany's foreign ministry defended its policies. "If we're really going to stop people crossing the Mediterranean on rickety boats and dying as they do so, we need to approach the situation far more comprehensively," she said. She declined to comment directly on Musk's remarks.
In her first press conference, she vowed to work with countries that want to renew their labour forces like Spain.
