(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 15 - "As long as there are departures on boats in very bad conditions and with bad weather conditions, there will be losses of life. We need to invest in legal routes, and this is exactly the job that the government is doing. Our conscience is clear, I hope that those who attack the government but don't say a word about smugglers can say the same".
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said it to the Chamber in response to the question of Riccardo Magi, secretary of +Europe about the sinking of a boat loaded with migrants off the Libyan coast.
