"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, over 5 000 immigrants have arrived in Italy in the last few hours, while another 100 000 are setting out for Italy, France and Germany. The Tunisian Minister for Justice has confirmed that some 11 000 prisoners, terrorists and criminals are hiding amongst the illegal immigrants.
I submitted an urgent question to the Commission in advance so as to obtain an answer from Baroness Ashton – who, inexplicably, is not here today – and the Commission only agreed to pass it on today, and only because it was forced into a corner yesterday by Parliament. This deafening silence is the most obvious sign of the lack of fibre shown by this Europe and its government, which is even afraid of taking a stand when faced with a humanitarian crisis that is raising serious humanitarian and security problems.
Half an hour, ladies and gentlemen, is all the time allowed for this democratic institution to debate an historic upheaval and its consequences for the people of Europe. What should I tell my constituents who are afraid? What will the European Union do tomorrow – and I mean tomorrow! – to deal with this terrible situation?"@en1
