Berlin, 11.06.2020 - Lana - The German "Sea Watch" organization working in the field of rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean refused to return migrants to Libya, stressing that it will continue to pressure the authorities in Malta and Italy to allocate a safe port for the landing of migrants. The Italian news agency "Aki" quoted from the spokesperson for the organization's branch in Italy, "Georgia Lenardi" in an interview with the newspaper "La Repubblica" on Tuesday, as saying: "We will definitely never return the migrants we rescue to the Libyans, but we will continue to go to Italy and Malta to allocate a port for us, we have no alternative. " "Lenardi" demanded that Italian officials should take responsibility, hoping that he would not decide to leave people at sea for weeks, as did the former Minister of the Interior "Mathew Salfini" to play arm wrestling with Europe. "Lenardi" stressed that rescue at sea is a duty, and should end up transporting people to a safe haven, noting that the organization has not seen from the Italian government any of the measures to change the approaches that we expected, compared to the previous government. On the fact that Italy has declared its ports unsafe, the spokeswoman replied that this measure is using the health emergency accurately to avoid taking responsibility. =Lana=
