Din il-pagna infethet wara li t-Tlieta 9 ta' Lulju 2013, il-Prim Ministru Joseph Muscat habbar li l-gvern kien qieghed jikkonsidra jibghat lura lejn il-Libja il-mijiet ta' immigranti illegali li kienu waslu Malta fis-sighat ta' qabel. Minn dak il-mument il-quddiem, saret oppozizzjoni orkestrata kontra din il-mizura mill-PN, NGOs u numru ta' avukati. Ma setax jonqos li tohrog l-ipokrisija grassa ta' dawk li ma lisnux kelma wahda meta Gvernijiet Nazzjonalisti kienu ghamlu precizament l-istess meta dehrilhom li kellhom jibghatu immigranti lura lejn minn fejn gew.

The trouble is that the rest of Europe doesn't want them - France has turned back hundreds of migrants and Germany has said it will take none - creating a diplomatic battle that Mr. Berlusconi has been unable to win.

Foreign Minister Tonio Borg said yesterday there was “nothing wrong” if Malta shared Italy’s controversial policy to immediately repatriate migrants back to Libya. Speaking after a meeting with Italian counterpart Giulio Terzi in Rome, Dr Borg reiterated his support for the Italian policy that was “also beneficial” to Malta.  “There is nothing wrong if Malta could participate in such operations as long as they respect domestic and international law,” he said, insisting Malta would do nothing that violated any law.
