African migrants stuck in Spanish limbo
Salvini s Italy first mantra
Citing the Italian Constitution, Salvini tweeted that defending the country was the sacred duty of every Italian. I m going on trial for this, for having defended my country? I ll go with my head held high, also in your name, before concluding, Italy first. Always.
Palermo prosecutors have accused Salvini of a dereliction of duty and kidnapping, for keeping the migrants at sea off the coast of Lampedusa in August 2019.
19-day ordeal
During the standoff, some of the migrants threw themselves overboard in desperation.
Eventually, after a 19-day ordeal, the remaining 83 migrants still on board were allowed to disembark in Lampedusa after a court overturned Salvini s ban on private rescue boats entering Italian waters.

Italian government shields Milan-based company LPE Semiconductors deemed of strategic importance, Draghi says Rome bolstering anti-takeover powers in key assets
ROME, April 9 (Reuters) - Italy has prevented Chinese company Shenzhen Investment Holdings Co from buying a controlling stake in a Milan-based firm producing semiconductor equipment, two Italian government officials said, signalling a renewed commitment to shield strategic assets from foreign takeovers.
The two government officials told Reuters that a cabinet meeting on March 31 used its special vetting powers to block Shenzhen from buying a 70% stake in LPE, which produces components for power electronics applications.
Prime Minister Mario Draghi, speaking to reporters late on Thursday, said: “There was a case recently in which the government looked into . an Italian semiconductor company which was to be acquired by a Chinese company. It was blocked.”
«Lockdown and all-related measures – the latter if adopted for prolonged and indefinite periods of time, well beyond the health emergency phase, so as to risk distorting the very essence of societies, and this is the case – are a crime against humanity as they constitute the crimes of imprisonment, torture and are acts causing great suffering to mental and physical health (section 7 of the Rome Statute)».
This is one of the most disruptive sentences of the explosive complaint signed by the Italian magistrate Angelo Giorgianni and sent yesterday, Wednesday 24 March, to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Ms Fatou Bensouda.
