Enrico Letta, professor at the Parisian University of Sciences Po and president of the Jacques Delors Institute, talks about immigration in an interview with “Libe'ration”. “People have the feeling that states no longer manage anything on the issue of migrants.
Extremist parties take advantage of this. They came to power in Austria and won many Bundestag seats in Germany. Brexit has won in the UK. It is on this dossier of migrants that the future of the Union will be played out ”, says Letta. "Instead of making migrants a divisive issue, Europe must on the contrary use this dossier to advance its construction" said the former Italian prime minister. Regarding the hotspots placed in Niger and Chad by France, Letta states that this is an example of cooperation that should also be implemented by Brussels.
