The 'Vos Thalassa' that rescued 66 migrants in Libyan search and rescue waters in the night of July 10, 2018, has been refused entry to an Italian port. The Italian Interior Ministry is angry with the crew of the for picking up the migrants, instead of leaving the rescue to the Libyan Coastguard. The stand-off has been resolved with the transfer of the migrants to an Italian Coastguard ship. It was likely, but not yet confirmed, that the Italian Coastguard would now disembark the migrants to Italy. Italy’s new populist government, comprising the anti-immigration League party, wants migrants to be intercepted and returned to Libya, rather than being allowed to arrive in Europe.
