Claim 2: “saying that “boats and men” arriving on southern European shores posed a challenge that governments could no longer ignore”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific quote regarding 'boats and men' arriving on southern European shores is only found in the EuroNews cross-reference. While other sources confirm the general theme of the speech (migration and 'invasion'), they do not explicitly quote this specific phrase, making it a single-source claim for the exact wording.
