Meloni and Frederiksen unite to reject uncontrolled immigration in Europe FAST-MOVING

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen have issued a joint statement expressing a unified stance against uncontrolled immigration in Europe. Despite their different political backgrounds, the two leaders emphasized a shared commitment to defending European security and values.

The leaders argued that illegal immigration contributes to rising crime rates, increased pressure on public services, and the erosion of public trust. They specifically highlighted the severity of cases involving violent crimes, drug trafficking, and sexual violence committed by migrants without the right to remain.

To address these challenges, Meloni and Frederiksen proposed the establishment of repatriation centers in third countries and other innovative solutions outside of Europe. They also called for increased deportations, particularly for foreign nationals who commit serious crimes, noting that they have influenced the application of the European Convention on Human Rights in this regard.

Additionally, the leaders expressed pride in Europe's Christian cultural heritage and stated that respect for national laws must go hand in hand with respect for European values. This expectation applies to both irregular migrants and the millions of foreign nationals living legally within the continent.
