Premier Giorgia Meloni said Tuesday
that European action was needed to stop the arrival of migrants
and avert the danger of another shipwreck like the February 26
one off the Calabrian town of Cutrio in which at least 87 people
died as she reported to the Senate ahead of this week's EU
summit.
"After the Cutro disaster, I wrote to the president of the
European Commission, the president of the European Council and
to the European Council to reiterate that we cannot wait any
longer," Meloni said.
"We cannot wait defencelessly for the next shipwreck, a danger
which, I insist, is caused by crossings organized by
unscrupulous human traffickers.
"Italy's borders are Europe's borders".
