„Now Frontex has taken the accusations against rescuers a step further. According to confidential reports obtained by the Financial Times and published Thursday ahead of a crucial European Union summit that will deal with migration, Frontex officials are accusing ‚charities operating in the Mediterranean of colluding with people smugglers.‘ According to the Financial Times, Frontex wrote several reports in which it contends that smugglers had ‚clear indications before departure on the precise direction to be followed in order to reach the NGO boats.‘ That, coupled with what it says is a ‚drop in distress calls from boats carrying migrants‘ must surely mean that the NGOs are ‚colluding‘ with traffickers.“ (hier)
