The national civil aviation body (ENAC) does not have time to certify the blocking of the NGO plane Moonbird that tearful complaints immediately reach the Sea-Watch Italia page via Twitter.
The vehicle, a model of the Cirrus Sr22 single-engine private passenger plane, operates on behalf of Swiss Humanitarian and German Sea-Watch carrying out the control and observation of clandestine ships sailing the central Mediterranean, in order to coordinate the operations of the “salvage” ships subsidized by the same non-profit companies above. As of today, the aircraft will no longer be able to take off, as it used to, from the island of Lampedusa
“The Italian government has closed its eyes on the central Mediterranean”Sea-Watch spokeswoman Giorgia Linardi comments in a video posted on social media. “Since Friday our plane from supervision the civilian Moonbird can no longer take off from Lampedusa. The accusation is that of having denounced too many times and for too long the presence of people in immediate need of help in the central Mediterranean “.
A Mediterranean, it must be remembered, crowded with NGO ships, very active in transshipment operations in Italy of foreigners from Libya: in addition to the Sea-Watch 4, whose activities are supported by the now famous Louise Michel, financed by the writer Banksy, how can we forget in fact, the tireless voyages made by the Ionian Sea (Mediterranean) and the Open Arms. If we add to this that the Ocean Viking (from the French Sos Mediterranée) and the Sea-Watch 3 are also detained (at least for the moment), both in administrative detention in Porto Empedocle for irregularities detected on board by the coast guard, You can understand what the actual size of the so-called non-profit fleet is. Another plane is part of the NGO “army of the sea” that is paired with Moonbird also in the same name: it is Sea bird, currently detained for maintenance.
“This government, with the complicity of the European Union, wants the central Mediterranean to become a black hole, that there is no one to say what is really happening, that is, that people come abandoned for hours, if not days, with the complicity of the European authorities who, like us, see them from heaven “Giorgia Linardi still complains.
“They are illegally returned to Libya, or abandoned until they disappear or reach the shores of Lampedusa on their own. We ask the authorities to intervene whenever we have seen people in danger, as required by the law. This is what the authorities deny us “, concludes the spokesperson for Sea-Watch Italia.
