The main news (expressed with more or less alarmist and racist undertones) are:
- around 12.200 migrants have been “rescued” so far by Mare Nostrum (some articles speak of 13.500, not sure what is the difference). Only from the beginning of the year there have been around 8.500 arrivals (2.000 in the past few days), ten times more than last year;
- the costs of the operations (so this article says) have not been officially confirmed, but it is believed that Mare Nostrum costs around 9 millions € a month, whereas the previous operations of the Coast Guard and the Guadia di Finanza costed 1,5 millions €. The commander of the Italian Navy, Luigi Binelli Mantelli, said that the special funding that had been allocated to the operation has now finished and the operations is being conducted with the „normal“ budged by the Italian Navy. It is not clear what will happen for the summer.
