Interior Minister Marco
Minniti on Tuesday said migration is "now under control",
speaking to State broadcaster Rai1's 'Uno Mattina' program.
"We have tried to govern the migration phenomenon which is
now under control", the minister said, noting that arrivals had
dropped for the eighth consecutive month.
"In February, we have registered a 90% decrease on last
February", Minniti noted, stressing however that the "situation
in Africa is very delicate and Libya is in a condition of
fragility".
He added that respecting human rights is a "fundamental
concern" for him.
"We are trying to manage the migration phenomenon, keeping
security and humanity together", he explained.
"It is possible to intervene in Africa, ensuring that those
who are fleeing war are not taken to Europe by smugglers but by
governments and NGOs through humanitarian corridors like the
ones we are organizing".
