Footage recorded by a BBC News crew shows French police slashing a boat filled with migrants attempting to cross from northern France to the UK. The incident occurred as officers intervened in the water, with advocates stating that such actions are common but rarely filmed. 

The event comes amid heightened pressure on France to prevent migrant crossings, supported by significant UK funding for increased security. UK government data indicates a 50% rise in migrant arrivals by boat over the past six months, with over 2,000 crossings in the last week alone. The upcoming summit between French and UK leaders is expected to focus on addressing these Channel crossings.

La policía francesa acuchilla una embarcación de inmigrantes en una operación represiva

En las aguas poco profundas de la costa del norte de Francia, los inmigrantes intentan apiñarse en un bote. Observando lo que se ha convertido en un viaje rutinario y arriesgado. Oficiales franceses y un equipo de BBC News. Mientras se sobrecarga y algunos, entre ellos un niño pequeño, se apiñan cerca de la hélice los agentes se lanzan al agua. Uno saca un cuchillo y acuchilla el bote. Los defensores de los inmigrantes dicen que esto ocurre habitualmente, pero no ante las cámaras. No es realmente una sorpresa ver ese tipo de imágenes y vídeo sólo unos días antes de una reunión entre Francia y el Reino Unido. Francia ha estado bajo presión para hacer más para detener a los migrantes de cruzar a la REINO UNIDO. Como parte de un acuerdo de tres años, el Reino Unido dio a Francia más de 800 millones de dólares para reforzar la seguridad. El Primer Ministro Keir Starmer ha hablado en repetidas ocasiones de poner fin a los cruces. Tenemos que hacer un esfuerzo concertado para acabar con las bandas que dirigen este vil tráfico. Pero en los últimos seis meses, las cifras del gobierno británico muestran que unos 20.000 inmigrantes llegaron en barco. Una cifra que ha aumentado un 50% respecto al mismo periodo del año pasado. Sólo en la última semana, más de 2.000 cruzaron el Canal en pateras. Actualmente, los agentes franceses sólo se lanzan al agua para interceptar a los inmigrantes si hay peligro de muerte. Pero Francia está considerando permitir a los oficiales ir más lejos de la costa. La razón por la que han considerado este cambio en la doctrina marítima es debido a este creciente uso de lanchas taxi que se alejan de la costa y merodean en aguas poco profundas. Se espera que una parte importante de la conversación se centre en qué hacer con los cruces del Canal de la Mancha. esta semana durante una visita de Estado, en la que el Presidente francés se reunirá con los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de los dos países. como con miembros de la familia real.
