E.U.: Immigration dominates at university forum

April 21, 2009

Illegal immigration dominated a debate at the university between a number of European Parliament candidates this afternoon.

Nationalist candidate Frank Portelli said the situation needed to be tackled by Libya, since migrants left from there. It appeared that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi felt that since European countries had exploited Africa in the past, Africans had a right to simply invade Europe. Dr Portelli warned that if this problem continued in Europe, one would end up with a Catholic Europe and a Moslem Europe. He said he was describing the influx as an invasion because the number of immigrant arrivals in Malta was higher than the birth rate.

Roberta Metsola Tedesco Triccas (PN) said immigration was a European problem which required a European solution. The recent visits to Malta by EU Commissioners Verheugen and Barrot showed that the talking had started to turn into action by the EU. She said burden-sharing was important. The fact that it was voluntary was not ideal, but it was a good step in the right direction, and a difficult one to achieve. Now Malta had to keep on knocking on doors so that EU countries would help more.
