Macron backs sanctions on EU states that refuse migrants

EU states that refuse migrants
French President Emmanuel Macron came out Saturday in support of financial sanctions against EU countries which refuse to accept migrants.


"We can not have countries that benefit hugely from EU solidarity and claim national self-interest when it comes to the issue of migrants," he said at a press conference in Paris alongside Spain's new Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

"I am in favour of sanctions being imposed in the event of no cooperation," he said.

On the eve of a mini-summit about the divisive migration issue, the two leaders also declared support for the creation of closed reception centres where migrants would be held while their asylum claims are considered.
