According to the Pope, the European Union should share responsibility for solving this problem with the countries where migrants arrive.

“Migration is a problem that Europe must take in hand, because there are five countries that suffer the most: Cyprus, Greece, Malta, Italy and Spain – because they are the Mediterranean countries and the majority of migrants land there. And if Europe does not take charge of this, the problem will only be for these countries. I think Europe must give people the sense that it is the European Union even in the face of this,” the Pope said.
