PARIS - The German captain of rescue ships that saved hundreds of migrants’ lives in the Mediterranean has turned down Paris’s highest civilian award, accusing the city of hypocrisy over the treatment of migrants.
“We do not need authorities deciding who is a ‘hero’ and who is ‘illegal’,” Klemp said in a statement on Facebook late on Tuesday. Charity vessels have struggled for more than a year to bring migrants rescued at sea to Italian shores, hindered by far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s tough line on immigration.
Klemp has been under investigation in Italy since one of her ships, the Iuventa, was impounded in Sicily two years ago by Italian authorities. She is accused of assisting illegal immigration.
