According to the minister, France is not able to provide a good future for all. He noted that since 2012, the number of places in reception centers for migrants has doubled. The number of centers themselves doubled.

According to Colomb, every help center for settlers costs a budget of two billion euros.

The Minister did not indicate whether a specific selection mechanism had been developed, but assured that the country could not continue to accept the ever-growing migration flow.

Also, the official sees the point in limiting the migrants who travel to France for economic reasons, and the applications of those who asylum for political reasons are considered in the usual way, without changes.

By the way, last year France received 100,000 applications for asylum, which is 7 percent more than in 2016.

As previously reported in "URA-Inform", in the Italian city of Macerata people took to the streets in support of "migrants". For a town with a population of 43 thousand people, the event that occurred last week sparked a wave of protests.
