Premier Giuseppe Conte said
on the migrant rescue ship Ocean Viking whose 82 migrants the EU
has agreed to coordinate redistribution but which has still not
been given access to an Italian port that "I'm not interested in
propaganda but I must insist on rigour in combatting illicit
trafficking. For the rest of the problems, we'll try to solve
them in a short time instead of 20 or 30 days."
On the possible timeframe for letting the NGO run ship dock
and offload the migrants, he said "we had a meeting yesterday".
Several unidentified countries have reportedly come forward
saying they are willing to take some of the migrants.
The Ocean Viking is run by Doctors Without Borders and SOS
Mediterranée.
