In his letter, the mayor warns: “In these conditions the government cannot guarantee safety, not just health, on the island”. Salvini: “Aiding and abetting illegal immigration”
The mayor to Conte: “How many still have to arrive? – The mayor Totò Martello expresses all his concern in the post published on Facebook and addressed to the premier. “President Conte – he writes -, how many migrants still have to be herded into the reception center in order to start the transfers from Lampedusa? President Conte, how many boats of migrants still have to be deposited at Molo Favaloro before the demolition procedures begin? President Conte, how much? do you still think the patience of the Lampedusans can last? “.
Security issues – The mayor continues: “President Conte, perhaps it is not clear: in these conditions his government is not able to guarantee safety standards, not only health, on the island. So, enough with buffer measures, enough with this silence deafening: you and your government cannot remain silent in the face of what is happening in Lampedusa! It is no longer acceptable that our island is abandoned to itself and that the weight of hospitality is placed on our shoulders: we are the first to want to guarantee respect for human rights, but it is no longer acceptable for Lampedusa to be left to the mercy of the most ferocious political speculations. A prime minister has the duty to respect all Italians including Lampedusa, who is solely to blame being in the center of the Mediterranean, at the 35th parallel “.
Salvini: “We will denounce the government for aiding and abetting” – Matteo Salvini also attacks the executive on the migrant front, who warns: “We are thinking as a League of denouncing the current government for aiding illegal immigration. Our lawyers are studying a complaint against the current executive leaders. mayor of Trapani and other mayors of Italy who defend their citizens “. The reference is to the ban on landing on the Aurelia ship, destined for quarantine and with 273 migrants on board, imposed by the mayor of the Sicilian city. Salvini concludes: “I will go to trial on October 3 in Catania for blocking the landings. In my opinion, those who facilitate the landings should go to trial and spend millions and hard public money to put these people on a ship”.
Unmanageable numbers – The continuous arrivals in recent days have created an increasingly unmanageable situation. On the last night alone, there were landings from a minimum of six Tunisians to a maximum of 72 migrants including Libyans and sub-Saharanians. Most of the boats were rescued by the patrol boats of the Harbor Master’s Office and the Finance Police. A small boat with 10 people on board also managed to get up to the very Madonnina, while another 72 migrants were tracked down by the carabinieri after landing in Cala Francese.
