French President Emmanuel Macron
said Wednesday on the Aquarius case that "we have been working
(with Italy) in an exemplary way for a year, we have reduced to
a tenth the (migrant) landings thanks to work with Italy, in the
Sahel". He said this had been "active, constant, constructive
work, work without let-up by France which, since last summer up
to a few days ago on Libya, has come to the fore in partnership
with Italy". Italy has vainly been demanding Macron apologise
for calling Rome "irresponsible and cynical" in rejecting the
Aquarius migrant rescue ship.
