The National Rally and the Reconquest party of Éric Zemmour have initiated the trial for laxity of the President of the Republic in the Ocean Viking affair. They traveled to Toulon to express their opposition to this choice and their solidarity with the president of the Italian council, Giorgia Meloni. So, how to analyze the decision of Emmanuel Macron who had made the opposite choice in 2018?
The two ships have the same red hull, but four years apart, their fate is different. As of June 2018, the Aquarius has over 600 migrants on board. France refuses that he lands in Marseilles (Bouches-du-Rhône). The boat then sailed to Spain. So why did Emmanuel Macron change his mind by letting the SOS Méditerranée boat dock this time? An adviser to the executive says: “This time it’s France because the humanitarian situation on board did not allow us to wait any longer.”
Another adds: “We managed the unacceptable, we don’t do politics.” However, the case becomes political. At the European level, a standoff is engaged with Italy. This morning, Giorgia Meloni denounced the attitude of Paris. Éric Zemmour went to Toulon (Var) to protest. From Friday afternoon, November 11, the Minister of the Interior reinforced controls at the Franco-Italian border. The government wants to project an image of firmness.
