If you're looking for top five news topics of the day....the more curious of these is a EU 'push' (by their EU Interior Minister) to force all EU member states (all 28 of them) to accept a temporary rule that they must accept migrants/immigrants rescued in the Med.
If you go looking through the comments....he's also suggesting that legal means of immigration needs to be established by the EU....to aid those folks escaping Africa....to reach Europe.
The odds of this happening? Zero. Although it makes good headlines, it will drive public forum chatter for weeks.
You have at least four countries in Europe who've set some stumbling blocks in place and unwilling to allow mass migration like this to occur. If you toss in another ten countries with poor or limiting funding for migrants/immigrants, or high unemployment rates....more than half of the EU member states are just not going to buy off on this situation.
Italy (at least in mid-2019) has a unemployment rate of 10.5-percent, which makes it near impossible for their government to be favorably inclined to accept more migrants.
France? They rest at 8.8-percent.
Germany? Currently at 3.3 to 3.5 percent, depending which survey you want to use. They probably could accept a fair number of migrants, but then you get into the problem of education and language levels, and the odds of you having to spend a minimum of two years in supporting the newly arrived guy before they might be of some work-value.
Mostly for public news propaganda? Yes.....it'll swing the public to think that you can force the issue on governments who simply don't desire it.
