Description
Following French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit, France and the UK have agreed to launch a 'pilot project' for migrant exchanges. However, elected officials and associations in Calais have criticized the announcement as 'vague' and biased toward British interests. "We need to assess its long-term impact. We doubt it will significantly reduce the number of people attempting to cross," said Arthur Dos Santos, coordinator of Utopia 56 Calais. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
