In the spotlight the Ocean Viking end of the odyssey

The humanitarian ship ocean viking transporting migrants, was finally authorized by France to dock at the military port of Toulon. A double first during this arm wrestling. Because never boat of migrants had been authorized to rejoin a military port, initially; and the first Franco-Italian crisis since the recent arrival at the presidency of the Italian Council of the post-fascist Giorgia Meloni, then.

The ship chartered by the SOS Méditerranée association at the port of Toulon? Welcome “ temporary ” and ” exceptionally “, insisted the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin.

We could have had one or two dead if we hadn’t docked the boat by tomorrow! “, said the Minister of the Interior to the newspaper The Parisiantaking care to insist: This does not make case law! “. In this daily, Gérald Darmanin ” draws the conclusion that the Italian authorities have been unreliable, that they place themselves outside the European field and international law and are cruelly lacking in humanity “. Don’t throw any more! As remarked The Parisianin diplomacy, it is extremely rare (…) to witness such a charge “.

You said arm wrestling ? All at his freedom to blame, Le Figaro lumberjacks the French executive, considering that, in the face of illegal immigration, the ” at the same time “Macronian reached” peaks of inconsistency “. And this daily compares the government’s handling of the Ocean Viking affair to the “ doodle politics », from the name of this character from French literature who throws himself into the water, for fear of getting wet, and more generally rushes into the troubles he wants to escape at all costs. And by “trouble”, here we mean that European leaders fear that once landed, migrants turn to illegal immigrants, that they make themselves “beautiful”, as Gribouille could have said.

For Le Figaroin any case, no doubt, Giorgia Meloni, she does not do Scribble politics, but “ politics » for short. Shade. At the same time, the French executive, ” by dint of saying or doing one thing and its opposite (…) got caught in his own trap. How can he accuse of racism an RN deputy who opposed in the Hemicycle the arrival of the Ocean Viking on our shores, when a week later Emmanuel Macron and Gérald Darmanin sought by all means to repel this same ship? “, interrogates Le Figaro.
