Dear Dr Abela ,

We , the undersigned agree with your decision to keep our ports closed and not allow the entry of illegal immigrants . We firmly believe that national interest should always come first .  The vast majority of the population agree with this decision , as witnessed in various polls . 

Furthermore we ask you to investigate the link between traffickers and NGOs.  There are various reports of NGOs colluding with traffickers and encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the Mediterranean Sea .
