Belgium Pushes 600 Migrants Back to France
2016-03-01
[An Nahar] Belgium has turned back more than 600 migrants colonists at the French border since reinstating border checks over fears about the destruction of part of the Calais "Jungle" camp, police said Monday.

In a fresh blow to the EU's Schengen free travel area, Belgium announced the measure last Tuesday to stop migrants colonists currently at Calais crossing into its territory to try to reach Britannia from the port of Zeebrugge.

La Belle France has called the decision "strange."

"Since last Tuesday 619 people have been turned back -- 334 who were already in Belgian territory and 285 at the border," Belgian police front man Peter de Waele told AFP.

Belgium has deployed around 300 police including officers on horseback to enforce the border controls with La Belle France.

La Belle France finally began demolishing part of the so-called Jungle on Monday after a series of legal wrangles, sparking festivities between French riot police and migrants colonists.

Seven Schengen countries including Belgium have reinstated border controls to deal with a record flow of migrants colonists and refugees from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries.
