Discussion #Frontex et #MSF sur twitter...
Tout commence par un tweet de Frontex, le 13.11.2020 :
Ruthless people smugglers put dozens of people in danger today. Thankfully a Frontex plane saw the overcrowded boat near Libyan coast and issued mayday call. We also alerted all national rescue centres. 102 people were rescued by Libyan Coast Guard. Sadly, 2 bodies were recovered
MSF répond le 14.11.2020 :
How many boats do you see & not report to the NGOs who could have rescued them?
How many people have you watched die without alerting the world to what reality looks in the #Med?
What happens to the people you facilitate the Libyan Coast Guard in trapping & forcing back to Libya?

Frontex :
Frontex always alerts national rescue centres in the relevant area, as required by international law. Always. Don’t you?
MSF :
International law requires people to be brought to a place of safety.
Frontex :
So you do not/would not contact the closest internationally-recognised rescue centres, violating international law and putting lives in danger?
MSF :
So you are not/ would not be concerned that people are taken back to a place internationally recognised as unsafe, violating international law and putting lives in danger?
Your Director was.

Frontex :
We care deeply about the safety and security of hundreds of millions of European by helping to protect our borders. And we care deeply about the lives of those in distress at sea. This is why we helped to save more than a quarter million people in recent years.
