ZAGREB (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that stronger European cooperation was needed after 27 migrants died a day earlier when their dinghy deflated as they made a perilous crossing of the English Channel.
“We need stronger European cooperation in this area. France is a transit country,” Macron said during a press conference in Zagreb.
“I will also say very clearly that our security forces are mobilised day and night,” the president added.
