Spain welcomes Mediterranean migrants

VTV.vn - Migrants rescued from the Mediterranean and turned away by Italy and Malta have arrived in Spain's port of Valencia.

Three vessels, including the charity ship Aquarius, which rescued the 629 migrants last weekend, have now docked in the harbour. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez welcomes the migrants as he has adopted a migrant-friendly stance since taking up his post two weeks ago.

The migrants spent 20 hours in overcrowded rubber dinghies before being rescued by the Aquarius. They have since spent a week in rough seas - with many suffering seasickness.

This has made the EU focus their attention to resolve the migrant policy issue.
