Malta’s Prime Minister Joseph Muscat thanked Spain’s Prime Minister for allowing the Aquarius to dock in Valencia. He also said that Malta will be sending fresh supplies to the vessel, which had over 600 people on board.
In a tweet, he said that one has to sit down and discuss how to prevent this from happening again, arguing that this is a European issue.
I thank #Spain PM @sanchezcastejon for taking in #Aquarius after #Italy broke international rules and caused a standoff. #Malta will be sending fresh supplies to the vessel. We will have to sit down and discuss how to prevent this from happening again.This is a European issue -JM
