- 'Open Arms'. Landing on the island of Lampedusa after ending the Italian Prosecutor's Office to the immigration crisis
- Editorial: The Open Arms Crisis
The acting Vice President of the Government, Carmen Calvo, recalled that the Open Arms "does not have permission to rescue" and therefore faces the relevant sanctions, which can amount to 900,000 euros. "The captain knows," he said, "the Ministry of Development reminded him, on which Merchant Marine depends."
In an interview with Cadena Ser, Calvo said that "institutions and citizens are subject to the laws" and that "the captain himself recognizes what the conditions of his ship are", that he does not have permission to rescue, but that " he has a license for humanitarian aid and food transport and that is his task. "
After the landing last night in Lampedusa of the 88 immigrants who were still on board, Calvo defended the action of the Spanish Executive, who suspended the departure of a Navy frigate to escort the Open Arms after the Italian Prosecutor's Office opened the port to the rescued by the Spanish NGO. "We have talked to the Government of Italy many times a day," he explained.
In this regard, the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has announced that his party will report today to the Prosecutor's Office to the Open Arms "for favoring illegal immigration and fraudulent use of the laws of the sea," as he has advanced in his Twitter account .
