The Spanish government earlier reportedly offered the charity boat Open Arms, which has 100 rescued migrants on board and has been blocked by Italy from docking at the port of Lampedusa for over two weeks, to dock at the closest Spanish port.
Spain has denied that it agreed with Italy to let migrants from the rescue ship Open Arms disembark at the port of Mallorca, Reuters reported.
The statement comes after reports about a deal between Italy and Spain that would see the 107 migrants stranded in the Mediterranean for 18 days disembark at the Spanish port of Mallorca.
