EU considering major Tunisia aid package to boost economy, deal with migration crisis • FRANCE 24

The EU is currently pledging 900 million euros in aid to Tunisia to boost its economy and help it deal with its migration crisis. Italy had previously pledged 700 million euros in aid. Both of these amounts are being pledged without prior approval from the IMF, an indication that the migration crisis is an important issue to Europe, especially to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, for whom this is a second visit to Tunisia in one week. So far this year, 53,800 migrants (almost double the figures from last year) have made the perilous crossing from Tunisia to Italy. Simon Speakman Cordall tells us more.

What an absurd consideration! A billion euros already contributed... unaccountable and a complete mystery as to purpose. Migration issues are real, significant and complex. Pumping additional euros into the pockets of irresponsible contributors to the migration problem is beyond belief!
