This is the latest standoff of several over the past months between Italy’s year-old populist government and humanitarian rescue ships that the country's hard-line interior minister accuses of essentially aiding migrant traffickers.
An Italian coast guard boat patrols next to the Sea-Watch 3 vessel, in the Mediterranean Sea just off the coast of the southern Italian island of Lampedusa on Thursday.
Moavero also expressed gratitude to the EU migration commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, for his efforts in lining up countries willing to take in the asylum-seekers. Italy’s hard-line interior minister, Matteo Salvini, had declared that until countries are found to accept every one of the 40 asylum-seekers, none would disembark on Italian soil.
Sea-Watch 3 captain Carola Rackete has defied orders from port authorities, first not to enter Italian waters and second in her attempted approach to the port of Lampedusa, Italy’s southernmost island.
