Pope believes EU should take on migration problem
Speaking at a press conference at the end of his recent visit to Hungary, Pope Francis noted that the European Union should take on a comprehensive solution to the problem of migration, TASS reports
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.
