Norman Atlantic: Families looking for their missing relatives

A relative of a missing person, in communication from Bari, Italy, stressed in the SKAI channel that the Greek consul in Rome ... scolded them because they went to Italy to see what happens with their missing relatives, who were aboard in the Norman Atlantic.
"Why are you here? What did you come to do? Here, there is nothing", he reportedly told to the 20 relatives, who went to the neighboring country.
According to the statements of the same woman, the relatives of missing persons in Italy have lost confidence in everyone. As she says every day comes a different information from the authorities, so the relatives take the initiative to search all hospitals and not to leave from there if they do not get documents certifying that their relatives are not there.

The relatives argue that when they called their people from Greece, their cell phones seemed dead. However, when called from Italy the phones ring twice before closing, which revives their hopes.

They are determined to remain in Italy until they find their relatives. Otherwise, as they stress, will take root there...
