“Given the available information regarding the current location of the flotilla, we make a renewed appeal for them not to leave international waters; exiting this area involves serious risks, of which they are surely aware,” wrote the Foreign Minister, Paulo Rangel, to the leader of the Left Bloc, Mariana Mortágua, actress Sofia Aparício, and activist Miguel Duarte.
In the message accessed by the Lusa agency, the Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs recalled that the Italian frigates, which are ready to provide consular and humanitarian assistance, will not leave international waters.
