Moroccan Minister Discusses Illegal Immigration

Did this Moroccan minister openly admit it?

Openly said, it's not official policy. But it's unofficial policy.

I had a question years ago with one Moroccan minister.

I asked him, why is there 20-25% of all illegal crossings to Slovenia

made by people coming from Morocco? The minister said,

why are you accepting them? That's the right question.

He asked the right question. I said,

yes, yes, but still, why this number is significant?

He said, frankly, if you want to know,

many of those people are trying to escape justice.

They are thieves, they are criminals.

Our legal system is that when we catch somebody doing those criminal activities,

not the most severe, but you know those,

it's not quite our interest to put him on trial, on jail.

We wait a little.

They are fleeing the country, going to you.

You are accepting them and this is your problem.

So this Moroccan minister openly admitted it?

It's not official policy, but it is. But it's unofficial policy.

It's... yeah. I was totally shocked.

I said, look, thank you for your frankness,

but still, you know, you're exporting your problems to Europe,

also to my country.

And he repeated his first answer.

Why do you accept me?
