The politician made a statement against the backdrop of the migration crisis in the English Channel. He accused the British head of frivolity and pointed out that Johnson had let the country down. “It's very sad to see a great country with which we could do so much, led by a clown,” Macron said.
The spokesman for the British Prime Minister, in response to the French leader's comments, advised the governments of both states to focus on resolving the crisis in order to avoid further loss of life.
Relations between Macron and Johnson deteriorated after the British Prime Minister publicly released a letter to the French president with proposals to combat illegal migration. Macron criticized Johnson's approach to work and noted that the leaders of the countries do not communicate with each other via Twitter or the publication of letters.
Paris and London are actively discussing how to solve the problem with illegal immigrants, amid numerous reports of drowning in La -Manche migrants. On November 24, a boat carrying illegal immigrants sank in the waters of the Pas-de-Calais off the coast of France. 31 people died, two survived, but their lives are now in danger.
At the same time, French police allowed a crowd of migrants to leave the coast of France without hindrance in an attempt to swim across the English Channel on their way to Great Britain. Then in Britain they said that they offered the French side to organize joint patrols of the English Channel, but did not receive consent from Paris.
