Paris says yes to the landing and attacks «You inhumans». It is a dispute with Italy- Corriere.it

France, which until now had never allowed a migrant rescue ship to disembark, yesterday granted the port of Toulon to Ocean Viking. He did so exceptionally – said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin – and faced with the unacceptable refusals of the Meloni government to welcome the NGO ship, with 231 migrants still on board (3, the most serious, evacuated to Bastia). The ship will arrive in Toulon today with a mixture of relief and anger, says Sos Mditerrane, almost three weeks after the rescue. But between Italy and France now total clash: Italy was inhumane – announced yesterday Darmanin -. It stands outside its European solidarity and its commitments. And there will be extremely strong consequences on bilateral and European relations.

Which? The suspension by Paris of participation in the Mechanism

European solidarity volunteer, according to which France should have received 3,500 refugees arriving in Italy by next summer. Not only that: Darmanin also invited all the other participants in the European agreement of 10 June in Luxembourg, in particular Germany, to do the same. The retaliation of Paris, moreover, will result in a strengthening of border controls, with 500 agents. A further crackdown, given that already today there are about 80, on average, the migrants rejected every day in Ventimiglia. Equally hard, however, the reply of the Italian Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi: The reaction of France to the request to welcome 234 migrants is incomprehensible. Italy has so far tackled the problem alone.

Europe must do its part – echoes the Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani -. We respect the agreements, but it is not written anywhere that all migrants must come to us. Tweet Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini: European solidarity … In Italy there have been almost 90,000 landings since the beginning of the year and of these France has accepted only 38, the whole of Europe only 117. It should be Italy to protest. From the opposition, on the other hand, here is Toni Ricciardi, deputy of the Democratic Party and historian of migration: Meloni and Piantedosi’s political masterpiece with Salvini’s help: to blow up the trust of the EU in our country. The real anti-Italians are in government. Closes the leader M5S, Giuseppe Conte: The government made a fool, but the muscular test of France out of place.
