There will be a summit on the
Aquarius migrant boat case with competent ministers at the
premier's office Monday night, Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Monday. Conte said he was "in direct contact" with the
authorities involved. The Aquarius, with 629 migrants on board,
has been stranded since Sunday when Interior Minister and
anti-migrant League leader Matteo Salvini closed all Italian
ports to it and said Malta should take it. Conte was speaking on
a tour of central Italian areas hit by devastating earthquakes
in 2016.
