Salvini visits Lampedusa, epicentre of Mediterranean migrant crisis (English subtitles)

Lampedusa is a small Italian island (pop, 7,000) in the far south of the Mediterranean.

Because it is the European territory closest to Libya and Tunisia, it is the most attractive destination for migrants trying to reach Europe.

Lampedusa can be seen as the epicentre of the entire Mediterranean human trafficking / migrant crisis.

The migrants set off mostly from Libya.

Some try to reach Lampedusa directly, in boats, with the aid of people smugglers in Libya.

Sometimes they make it onto the Lampedusan beaches, other times they are picked up by the Italian coast guard and brought ashore by them.

Other migrants are taken to Lampedusa by NGO ships, having been rescued somewhere in the southern Mediterranean.

Lampedusa and Malta are usually the first port of call for the NGO ships in those circumstances.

Once ashore the migrants claim asylum, and are eventually transferred north to other Italian territory.

The most common nationality among the migrants is Tunisian.

The first six video were recorded by Salvini on 23.07.20. The final video was recorded on 28.07.20.
