The President Macron and President Starmer reached an agreement to combat terrorism and illegal immigration of undocumented immigrants across the Channel in the so-called "One in, One out" agreement, specifically to combat mafias and the large number of immigrants, all young men.

In Greece, all asylum applications for illegal immigrants from North Africa are suspended, as announced by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who claims that an extraordinary situation requires a necessary response after acknowledging that they are overwhelmed by the massive arrival of immigrants to the island of Lesbos, with more than 3,000 daily arrivals, ignoring the do-gooders and NGOs.

Meloni, President of Italy, announces that he will deport all illegal migrants who reach its borders, while Poland, which is protesting the murder of its citizens by two illegal immigrants, announces the reinforcement of its borders due to the same illegal overflow.

Meanwhile, in Spain, demonstrations are taking place in Madrid and cities in Catalonia, the Canary Islands, etc. due to the violence and security problems faced by immigrants, rapes and assaults by people who arrive threateningly with no intention of integrating into the culture they find. Hoping that changes are made regarding the protection of resident citizens. Thus, Isabel Díaz Ayuso demands the closure of the three macro-camps for immigrants, those in Pozuelo, Alcalá and Carabanchel, while requesting increased security in these places. Meanwhile, they continue to arrive en masse and illegally, in contrast to what would be an adequate and desired legal and regulated immigration.
