EU, Tunisia and immigration
Tunisia is seen by the EU as a gatekeeper of migration from North Africa to Europe/Aljazeera.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin arrive to discuss the region’s massive immigration issue with President Kais Saied and Interior Minister Kamal al-Feki.
Tunisia is seen by the EU as a gatekeeper of migration from North Africa to Europe, as its coastline is less than 150 km from the Italian island of Lampedusa.
Before an EU summit at the end of June, Saied will have to decide whether to accept a “Partnership Programme” proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen earlier this week, when she proposed a $971M economic aid package for Tunisia as well hundreds of millions more in immediate budget assistance, as well as for border management and anti-smuggling activities.
