PAS DE CALAIS (Reuters) – Des dizaines d’exilés montés sur deux embarcations pneumatiques ont gagné samedi les côtes anglaises après avoir franchi le pas de Calais, ont constaté des journalistes de Reuters.

Les migrants, des hommes pour la plupart, ont franchi le détroit suivis de près par un bâtiment de la marine française qui a fait demi-tour lorsqu’ils sont entrés dans les eaux territoriales britanniques.

Ils ont été ensuite conduits à bord d’un bateau de la police aux frontières britanniques.

Ces dernières arrivées montrent que la politique de d’extrême fermeté engagée par le Premier ministre Rishi Sunak ne dissuade pas les exilés de prendre la mer pour rejoindre le Royaume-Uni, même après la promulgation d’une législation controversée qui prévoit le renvoi vers le Rwanda de demandeurs d’asile présents sur le sol britannique.

Plus de 8.000 personnes sont arrivées en 2024 sur les côtes anglaises après avoir traversé la Manche, un record à cette époque là de l’année.
