Malta’s foreign minister has posted a volley of Facebooks posts in which he lays the blame for the failure to save asylum seekers at sea at the European Union’s doorstep, saying he will resign if he finds it impossible to reach a common accord.
Evarist Bartolo, who in March accused migrant rescue charities of abetting human traffickers in Libya by saving migrants at sea despite closed ports in Malta and Italy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, said that if the EU does not introduce a responsibility sharing system on asylum, “the human tragedy will continue.”
