The migrants dive into the sea and the Italian authorities are “forced” to disembark the ship of the Spanish NGO Open Arms in the port of Palermo. 140 migrants remained on the boat, while in recent days first 76 people and then another 48 had jumped into the water a few steps from the Italian coast to be rescued and transported to the Allegra quarantine ship. Giornale.it speaks openly of a “trick”, supported by the media hype on the NGO’s social networks, which risks becoming a fixed pattern also for all the other ships of the international organizations that support migrants in the Mediterranean. The exasperation of the migrants on board was also linked to Malta’s refusal to grant a safe haven to the Open Arms, thus forced to turn towards the more welcoming Italy. “Ten days after having rescued 276 people in international waters – the NGO crew rejoices – and after reaching a limit situation on board, Italy authorizes the landing of 140 shipwrecked people, who will spend quarantine on the Allegra ship”.
