Italy receives EU support for the reception of migrants

Italy claims the success of its migration policy, now that France, Germany and Malta have responded to Rome's request to include a new group of 450 migrants picked up. Interior Minister Salvini, the stimulator behind the hard line, did not want to allow both ships with the migrants. But in collaboration with Foreign Minister Moavero, Prime Minister Conté sent a letter to other EU countries Saturday, with the request to include some fifty people. France and Malta reacted almost immediately, Germany on Sunday.

A spokesman for the Austrian government hinted that there was nothing to report. In the Czech Republic, Prime Minister Babic wrote on Facebook that Conte's suggestion is "the road to hell". Babic: "The only solution to the migration crisis is the Australian model, so migrants do not land in Europe."

Italy does not want to bear the burden of people coming to the EU in search of protection and better living, and also wish for a greater joint effort of Europe to control the borders exterior.

There was no decision on Sunday night when the two ships could dock. However, sixteen mothers and eleven children were abducted. Sunday night, food would be brought to the ships for two days. (NRC)
