The Council of Ministers will meet on Thursday afternoon in Cutro, in the province of Crotone, where on the morning of Sunday, February 26, another massacre of migrants in the Mediterranean occurred, killing 71 people whose bodies were discovered, many of whom were children. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni made the announcement from Abu Dhabi over the weekend. "The rumors that appeared in some press outlets relating to a summons to Palazzo Chigi of the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, and to alleged differences on the internal line of the government on immigration, are literally invented and therefore devoid of any foundation", specified Palazzo Chigi yesterday in a note, denying friction with the Interior Ministry, whose owner ended up in the cyclone because of his statements, so much so that the new secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein has called for his resignation in a more than official context such as that of a hearing in the Chamber. "Even if someone today says otherwise, I want to reiterate that the Guardia di Finanza and the Coast Guard have always done their duty, saving many lives while often risking their own, and this was also true in the case of the victims of the shipwreck in Calabria. As a result, I thank the Guardia di Finanza for all that it does to save so many people ", Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said yesterday as he opened the 14th plenary meeting of the Guardia di Finanza expert officers serving abroad in Rome. Aside from the political implications, the story's judicial process continues. "We are gathering all of the information about this story and the events leading up to the disaster, said Crotone prosecutor Giuseppe Capoccia to journalists. - We've already reached a point of interest; we're gathering all of the acts. We will not communicate until we are certain about what happened prior to the fact. None of the information that is generated here ever leaves the building. We are doing our best, we are at a good point in the reconstruction of the communication network that existed prior to the event, but we still need a few days".
