Video/ The moment when Berlusconi bursts into tears for the Albanian immigrants who died in the Canal of Otranto

Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, in a published video, is seen in tears over the tragedy in the Otranto Canal, which happened on March 28, 1997, also known as the Kater Rada flood.

The Albanian ship with 142 people on board was overturned by the Italian naval forces in the Strait of Otranto, causing the loss of life of 57 people, aged between 3 and 69 years.

At that time, Berlusconi in the opposition said: I believe that Italy cannot accept to give the world the image of someone who throws into the sea someone who is fleeing from a neighboring country, fearing for his life, seeking salvation and escape to a place he considers a friend. Our duty is to accept those who find themselves in these conditions. We must wash away this stain that came from a decision that should not have been made.
