France is ready to take in 24,000 refugees as part of European Union plans to welcome more than 100,000 in the next two years, French President Francois Hollande said on Monday, dismissing opinion polls showing public opposition to the move.
Hollande said he and German leader Angela Merkel wanted the 28-country EU to back a “permanent, mandatory system” under which each country would be obliged to take its fair share of a total of 120,000 migrants.
“This is a crisis, and it is a grave and dramatic one. It can be brought under control and it will be,” he told a news conference.
Asked about polls showing 55 percent of French people oppose admitting more refugees or easing asylum procedures to cope with the EU’s migration crisis, Hollande said public opinion was fickle but asylum was a constitutional right and a moral duty.
