They dreamed of a better future. But the Channel, "an increasingly deadly sea" according to 

, prevented them from doing so. Never had the sinking of a boat carrying migrants off the coast of Calais had killed so much. Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior speaks of "national mourning for France" and describes the smugglers as "criminals". But this tragedy revives, in high places, the tensions between Paris and London. Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, says he is

"shocked" and clearly accuses France of not having done enough to prevent such a tragedy.

A very "political" statement for

which recalls that London has still not paid the 63 million euros promised to strengthen controls on the French side.

The migration issue is very sensitive in Great Britain.
