From the pages of Corriere della SeraInterior Minister Matteo Piantedosi returned to the controversy that arose after his remarks yesterday: “Despair does not justify travel that endangers children” which outraged the NGOs and the opposition. The government’s position has been this for some time: departures must be stopped, the only way to avoid massacres at sea. Piantedosi specified: “I think the message must be clear: those fleeing a war must not rely on unscrupulous smugglers, it must be responsible and supportive policies of the States to offer the way out of their tragedy”.
The minister added that there were no delays in the rescue efforts. “I want to thank the staff who, putting their lives at risk, it intervenes daily to rescue migrants in distress on small boats adrift and navigating in conditions of serious danger. It is extremely offensive even to hint that they have waived their obligations and their innate vocation”.

The European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson, there is a need to promote cooperation with third countries to fight the mafias of irregular migration. “We’ve already seen how cynically they put people on these dangerous journeys and don’t care if they lose their lives. They only care about money. We need a proper European system for migration where we work together but also where we strengthen our cooperation with countries of origin and transit to fight smugglers and invest in legal pathways.”
