Record illegal migrant transitions over Lamans showed that Bregzit did not meet the British promise of strict border control, French President Emanuel Macron, adding that the British people “sold a lie.”
Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a pilot program to return migrants who arrive with small boats.
Macron added that Britain’s exit from the European Union means that the lack of formal agreements with the EU on migration actually encourages people to cross the Lamanche.
“The current situation actually gives an incentive to cross. This is why it is completely opposite to what Bregzit suggested and promised,” Macron said.
He added that the thing is that the British people were sold a lie.
“They were told that the problem of Europe, but by creating this legal gap problem became a bregzit,” Macron pointed out.
The official data from the UK previously published this month showed that almost 20,000 asylum seekers arrived in Britain with small boats from the beginning 2025, which is a record number for the first six months of the year.
