its good to see italy finally rejecting to be part of the criminal ngo human trafficking activities in the mediterranean
instead now spain offers to let the ship, despite it being over 1400km away
hey zark, is this the welcome gift of your new prime minister?
of course it never occurs to anyone there to bring these people back to the
nearest safe port, which is in africa, in accordance with the law
the crew of the aquarius should be arrested and not welcomed
rather continue with the fake narrative, that giving illegal migrants a free lift for hundreds of kilometers instead of a handful of kilometers back, is somehow legal :lol:
welcome to europe

Since the 80s we always had someone in a relevant position inside the EU, but after Almunia and Borrell left their positions, this stopped being true. Neither Zapatero nor Rajoy showed any kind initiative either. So Sánchez is trying to send the message that he's going to do something different, and willing to take initiative within the EU. His government team said yesterday that this would hopefully teach the EU that they can't just sit back and watch how malnourished kids and pregnant women wait in the middle of the sea, while they wait for two countries to agree on what to do about them... they hope to re-activate the migration debate with the goal of creating a de facto unified policy among the member states. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but at least Pedro Sánchez wants to show initiative, which will get him some popularity points.
