Spain accepts French offer to take immigrants from the ship's board of Aquarius

Spain says it has accepted an offer from France to take some of the 630 migrants rescued from the ship Aquarius, launched by Libya but left at sea for more than 24 hours from Italy, which closed ports without allowing docks.

Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said the French government will work together with Spain to address the arrival of migrants. They are scheduled to land in Valencia on Sunday.

Official Madrid said those immigrants who expressed their desire to go to France would be allowed to do so. Meanwhile, the Spanish coast guard said he had saved 933 immigrants and found four troops in the Mediterranean on Friday and Saturday.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has approved a friendly attitude towards immigrants since taking his post two weeks ago. Migrants aboard Aquarius spent 20 hours in crowded burmons before being saved off the Libyan coast.

They've spent a week aboard an open sea rescue ship and many of them are affected by lung disease. Migrants will meet by a team of 2,300 people, mainly health workers, when Aceretius is docked on Sunday. Then a choice will be given if they go to France, if they prove to have a request for asylum” the French foreign minister has said.

The ship's fate caused a diplomatic row between Italy and France, with French President Emmanuel Macron accusing Italy of “of accountability” that showed by closing ports.

Italy, meanwhile, says it is unfair that countries on the EU front line take on most of the burden of dealing with the influx of migrants.

Migration reform will likely be a key topic at a meeting of EU leaders later this month, as many countries continue to face the political consequences caused by a influx of migrants in recent years.
