Mixed memories for returning Costa passengers

Published

http://www.euronews.net/ Costa Allegra passengers have been arriving home at the end of a holiday that was memorable for all the wrong reasons. More than 600 people endured a three-day ordeal in stifling, unhygenic conditions after the cruise ship was crippled by a fire while crossing the Indian Ocean.

They were offered a holiday in the Seychelles, but many just want to leave. One Italian woman arriving in Milan’s main airport said “Costa treated us very well. They gave us a resort to cool down in. Then we decided to come back because our sons were too worried. We were not afraid because the crew assisted us in a very professional way.”

As the holidaymakers from around the world travelled home, they mostly praised the crew for making the best of a bad situation.

One Canadian man catching a connecting flight in Paris said: “You cannot say they are 100% good, but under such circumstances, I would give them a 90%. They still have room to improve, especially in evacuation.”

The company is keen to stress there was no link to what happened to the Costa Concordia, which foundered on rocks off the Italian coast killing 32 people.

A spokesman in France said: “I would remind you that between the Costa Concordia and the Costa Allegra, you can only compare the time frame. The Costa Concordia and the Costa Allegra were just a few weeks apart but these events have nothing in common.”

Though the events may not be connected this latest incident is another setback for the cruise company. An investigation is underway into what caused the fire in the Allegra’s generator room.

The tension in Kyiv showed how it can cross borders when a fight broke out in the Georgian parliament.

Soso Jachviani of the ruling Dream Party lashed out, kicking Giorgi Baramidze an opposition lawmaker during a debate in which he called for parliament to show support for the opposition in Ukraine.

The words of the debate were lost and voting had to be put on hold as the members decided to sort out their differences in a rather more uncouth way, with a brawl.

It was reported Jachviani had told the opposition MPs they had no right to talk about violations of law in other parts of the world – such as Ukraine – while they’re being investigated for unlawful conduct.

The parliament in Hungary has narrowly rejected a plan to ban the resettlement of migrants.

The constitutional amendment proposed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban got 131 votes in the 199 seat parliament, just short of the two-thirds majority needed.

It was the far-right Jobbik party’s boycott of the parliamentary vote, which led to its failure. They had pledged to support the ban if Orban threw out plans to allow foreigners to buy residency rights.

It is a second setback for Orban who had pus…
