French President Emmanuel Macron has accused Boris Johnson of failing to act “seriously” in the migrant crisis, as he justified Paris’s decision to withdraw Priti Patel’s invitation to an emergency summit on Sunday, APA reports citing Independent.
France responded with fury to a letter to Mr Macron from the prime minister last night, in which Mr Johnson set out a five-point package to step up action on small boat crossings of the English Channel, following Wednesday’s tragedy in which 27 people died.
Mr Macron today voiced his anger that the PM had published the letter on Twitter yesterday evening.
It included a demand - certain to provoke the Elysee Palace - for France to take back migrants who the UK deems “illegal” in what Mr Johnson described as a “bilateral returns agreement”.
