It's what politicians do isn't it.

Latest news her is that the maire of Calais is demanding a meeting if ministers and the president tore negociate the20 year old Le Touquet agreement concerning migrants and the France/UK border.

Why ? Because the citizens don't like the government idea to provide a 300 bed temporary hostel for the migrants on the edge of the town. They demand action and Mme Bouchard is stirring the pot to enhance her re-election chances.

Migrants : la maire de Calais demande au gouvernement «d'engager le bras de fer» avec Johnson

Natacha Bouchart a demandé ce jeudi 4 novembre à l'exécutif la tenue d'une réunion interministérielle pour revoir les accords du Touquet. Le président des Hauts-de-France, Xavier Bertrand, s'est aussi exprimé en ce sens.
