Maltese columnist Pamela Hansen says the MOAS operation will provoke mixed reactions in Malta, with some being pleased that lives are to be saved, but others being concerned more migrants will arrive as a result. Obviously the authorities are going to be very cautious. They are worried because we do have a problem, just as Italy has a problem. The whole of Europe is anxious about this. But because we perhaps are the first stage sometimes of where the migrants land, theres a bit more apprehension. I dont know what the governments feeling about MOAS, but what I can tell you is theres a lot of public opinion that is anti-illegal immigration, so maybe the authorities are being rather cautious before they comment.
