Italy is preparing to resume the fight against private sea rescuers in the Mediterranean – and to close its ports. This should also help an old acquaintance who has fallen a long way in domestic politics to get back on its feet.

A sad show gets a second season, even the protagonists are still the same. Italy’s right-wing government is preparing to declare “war,” as the newspapers call it, on sea rescuers in the Mediterranean. And even if Matteo Salvini from the Lega is no longer Minister of the Interior like he was in the first season, 2018 and 2019, he is very keen that everyone can watch him again as he plays the port locksmith, the tough dog, the Opponents to captains. His duel with the German activist Carola Rackete will not be forgotten.
