The tragedy was avoided thanks to the intervention of the patrol boats of the Coast Guard and the Guardia di Finanza, who escorted the boat to the port. The maxi landing on the island, where in the last 24 hours another 500 migrants had landed in some thirty small boats, triggered a new emergency and triggered the protest of a group of inhabitants headed by the former senator of the League Angela Maraventano who was looking to avoid the passage of emergency vehicles on the dock. “We are tired,” said Maraventano, “we must repatriate them immediately. We will avoid with all our strength to let them pass.”
Ministry of the Interior: 6,371 swabs of immigrants landed in Sicily, 3.98 percent positive
Even the mayor of Lampedusa, Totò Martello, who in the afternoon had sent a letter to Tunisian President Kasis Saied threatening to reach the North African country with his ship, following the migratory route in reverse, in front of the ship that has just arrived at port, he cannot hide. his anger: “We are on our knees – he spits -, with these arrivals to the hot spot there will be more than 1,500 admissions. The situation is unsustainable: either the government makes immediate decisions or it will hit the entire island. The administration will directly declare a strike, closing everything It is not possible to continue supporting these government oppressions. ”Although the Ministry of the Interior emphasizes that departures from Tunisia fell sharply in August compared to the previous month, it is undeniable that in recent hours the flow has resumed at full speed, as evidenced by the bulletin of the last landings: 30 on Friday, another eight Saturdays including the arrival of the 49 transshipped by the Lous Michel, the German-flagged ship financed by Banksy, which has rescued 130 migrants in the last hours.
A situation also aggravated by the Covid-19 emergency and by the political controversies that are heating up this ‘hot’ August in Lampedusa.
‘During the night 450 immigrants landed at once in Lampedusa, almost double the number of Tunisians repatriated by the government during the whole month of August: it is further proof of the total failure of the Interior Ministry, while the NGOs pampered by Conte and Lamorgese they are ready to bring hundreds of illegal immigrants to Italy. The situation is out of control, Lampedusa is under siege, thousands of immigrants are at risk of invading our streets after the quarantine and there is a great risk to health. However, for Conte-Lamorgese-Pd-5Stelle-Renzi-Leu, the danger is the Sicilians and other Italians who oppose the invasion. For me there will be a trial in Catania, on October 3, and against Musumeci there was an appeal to the Tar. This government opens the doors wide and wants to arrest Italians who say NO, ” says Lega leader Matteo Salvini.
