Premier Giorgia Meloni said Thursday
that her cabinet has approved a new decree hardening Italy's
stance against human traffickers after it met in Cutro, the site
of the February 26 shipwreck in which at least 72 people died.
Meloni told a news conference that the decree shows the
government is "determined to defeat the trafficking of human
beings, which was responsible for this tragedy.
"Our response to what happened is greater firmness," she added.
