    Salvini bans German-flagged migrant ferry from entering Italian waters - Voice of Europe

    Three Italian ministries have banned a migrant transport vessel operated by the German NGO Mission Lifeline from entering Italian waters.
    The decree to ban the migrant ferry ‘Eleonore’ from approaching Italy’s coast was signed by the country’s Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, Defense Minister Elisabetta Trenta, and Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli.
    Axel Steier, the head of the Mission Lifeline, said that the ship dubbed Eleonore is currently carrying 101 migrants which it picked up off the coast of Libya. He also said that both Italian and Maltese authorities had refused to let the ship dock at their ports in order to offload the migrants.

    Steier also mentioned that passengers weren’t in any danger at the present moment, but added that the captain of the ship would go to one of the two countries in the event of an emergency.
    “If the ship gets into distress at sea, it will travel to a port”, Steier said. Why Italian and Maltese ports are the only options, Steier didn’t say.
    “It is not up to Mr. Salvini to decide, but to the captain,” Steier added.
    Sources inside Italy’s Ministry of Internal Affairs contend that the unanimous decision made by the three ministers proves “the newly achieved compactness of the government in the face of another attempt by a German NGO to approach Italian territorial waters”.
    Although migrant transport ships operated by NGOs are technically banned from Italian waters, many have previously managed to dock at Italian ports after the situation onboard the vessel becomes more dire, so long as other European countries say they’re willing to take the migrants in.
    Just last week, Malta allowed 356 migrants carried by the Ocean Viking to be offloaded at one of its ports after six EU member states agreed to distribute the migrants among themselves.

    EU paid the extortion money to Libya to KEEP them all and stop them getting on boats.

    They still dump them on our backs.

    Just like Mexico. There are MILLIONS and MILLIONS and it will never stop.

    Deport on the spot and stop them coming to our countries.

    And stop paying the extortion money!!!

    Send them back!
