The European Union and Tunisia signed an agreement in July to fight human trafficking and improve maritime border security. However, migration remains an unresolved crisis in the European Union, and in order to solve this crisis and reduce the number of victims of asylum seekers, instead of creating legal ways for immigrants to enter, the European Union has increased the pressure on this oppressed group and adopted stricter policies.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak recently warned that Europe is being drowned by immigrants during a trip to Italy and meeting with his counterpart in this country. “If we don’t deal with this problem, the number of refugees will continue to increase,” Sonak said at a party in Rome. It will overwhelm our countries and our ability to help those who need our help the most. He emphasized: “If this requires us to update our laws and participate in international negotiations to change asylum policies after the war, we should do this.” On Saturday, they announced plans to jointly fund the return of migrants stuck in Tunisia. It was initially unclear how much money would be available for this.
