Italy’s Interior Minister/Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has called a Netherlands-registered German NGO boat a “pirate ship,” stating the 43 rescued African (mainly) Muslim illegal alien migrant wannabes aboard should instead be taken to The Netherlands or to Germany. They will never be allowed to dock in Italy.
Newsweek NGO Sea-Watch is challenging Italy’s refusal to allow its Sea-Watch 3 boat entry to its territorial waters or to dock at the port in Lampedusa, an Italian island in the Mediterranean around 160 miles off its coast, in the European Court of Human Rights, which has asked for Rome to justify its decision.
Sea-Watch “saved” the illegal aliens from the sea (most likely from an illegal human trafficker boat) near Libya on June 12, but they are stuck in the water because of Italy’s Salvini-driven policy of not allowing any more NGO ships to dock without permission. Those that do face fines of up to €50,000.
“Does the European Union want to solve the Sea Watch problem? Easy,” Salvini, leader of the League party and interior minister in Italy’s fragile coalition government, wrote on Facebook. “Dutch ship, German NGO: Half of the illegal migrants in Amsterdam, the other half in Berlin. And seize the pirate ship.”
Salvini argues that his country has taken in too many of the illegal migrants picked up by rescue boats, and that only a tiny fraction are genuinely fleeing war. He had already once refused entry to Sea-Watch 3, only to have the decision overturned by the ECHR in May.
Sea-Watch 3 landed at Lampedusa with the 65 illegals it had rescued from a rubber dinghy in the waters off Libya before the ship was impounded for three weeks. It was then released back to the NGO by Italian authorities.
Those at the coalface of the Mediterranean crisis, such as Italy, feel they are overburdened and that the problem is not shared equitably among all E.U. partners, as demonstrated by Salvini’s insistence that Sea-Watch 3 should be the responsibility of the Dutch and Germans.

Meanwhile, those onboard Sea-Watch 3 are struggling in difficult conditions. A video posted to Twitter by Sea-Watch shows one man, Hermann, who the NGO says escaped torture in a Libyan prison, saying the group is exhausted.
“We cannot hold and longer. We are like in a prison because we are deprived of everything. We cannot do anything. We cannot even walk, go a bit further, because the boat is small and we are plenty. There is no space anymore,” Hermann says. (Oh, Boo Hoo. Where are the women and children? Why are there only strapping young men aboard?)
Seven days ago Hermann addressed the Europeans to call on their solidarity. So far the situation worsened for the 42 people still stuck on the #SeaWatch 3. Having escaped the Libyan torture prisons, the EU deprives them of their basic human rights for 12 days now. pic.twitter.com/8qDZjQYbJk

HAH! Sea-Watch crew member refers to the African illegal invaders as “guests.”
Decades ago European Colonialists in Africa were told by the Africans that they should go back to Europe as they dont want them, dont need them, and so they should just go back and build and defend Europe and leave Africa alone… This was called Liberation.
Today we have Europeans telling Africans, we dont need you, we dont want you, now just go back to Africa and build and defend your country and leave Europe alone… This is now called racism.
The people bringing illegal men into Europe should be arrested for people smuggling, they are NOT NGO’s they are smugglers… sink the boats, thats a better idea, and cheaper, and something they will all understand.
Haha. I’ve gotten in the habit of searching “Soros” with whatever Evil shows up. Guess what I found:

Isn’t it disturbing how the leaders of other nations easily deny illegal aliens entry into their country, yet Trump and Congress will not? He has no trouble signing unconstitutional executive orders forcing U.S. business’s to bow to his will, but refuses to legally repel hordes of invaders forcing their way across our border.
Don’t blame Trump. At the Southern border, he has been stopped by Congress and leftist judges every time he tries to do something about it. At least, he has been able to cut Muslim immigration by more than 90%.
Irazhm:
If the democRATs and the liberal, obama* appointed judges had 1/100th. of the concern that PRESIDENT TRUMP has for this country, there wouldn’t be one single muslim admitted from anywhere, and the litigious, lying, terrorist supporting, thugs from CARE and the rest of the filthy muslim promoting organizations would all be outlawed and their members either jailed or deported.
Any mosques with a history of creating radical, terrorists would be destroyed and all their ranting preachers deported.
But instead, they, the democRATS, welcomed filthy muslims into their ranks to fight in their useless and vicious hatred of PRESIDENT TRUMP.
America has no need of islamics and the muslilm constant demand for favors and rule changes to accommodate their supposed religion. If they can’t assimilate into American culture, let them go back to the s-holes they came from. PLEASE ! QUICKLY !
* Lower Case Intentional
Compost the illegal alien islamists on a desert island- being islamist they are already technically dead so it would not be taking human lives.
Thank God for Minister Salvini, otherwise, these Savages would be rampaging across Italy! The Savages are Whining & complaining that they’re stuck aboard the Ship, but NO Western Country wants to get Stuck with these Inhuman Beasts!
I wonder how much of these NGO boats bringing Muslims into Italy is funded by a George Soros organization such as the Open Society Foundation. Likely most of it traces back to George Soros.
MOST OF THEM!
That would come as no surprise.
Salvini told them not to go ahead to the Netherlands and Germany but back to Libya, a country not at war with anyone.
In the meantime the European court of Human Rights has turned down the appeal this time. Now the female captain of the vessel announced she would now disregard the court’s decision and head full speed for Lampedusa anyway.
Torpedoes away!
In the old days they confiscated pirate vessels and hung the captain and his officers to the good ole gallow tree. The same approach would be reasonable here except replacing capital punishment with long prison terms.
Which is what I am hoping for.
Hart, but hanging would send a stronger message.
While I agree the NGO criminals would have to commit fiest degree murder these days.
Correction: Salvini mentioned Tunisia, not Libya.
The female captain of the vessel seems to be one of those German feminazis you find en masse here in western Europe.
Angry Foreigner talked about the phenomenon of leftist women shacking up with migrants as their boy toys. Ugh I feel dirty talking about it. I bet this captain has a boy toy in her house too.
I suggest feeding them to the sharks. Word of this will get around and stop the invasion. Good for Salvini.
Sharks need to eat too. Don’t see why it’s a bad thing.
apparently enough is enough and in this case one is too many! ask soros to put them up in his house. how come he hasn’t? we know why.
Act with ETHICS! End the hostile Muslim invasion of Europe!
Boats should be warned if they don’t turn around, they’ll be blown out of the water. No rescues.
Tell the parasitic, hostile, violent Muslim male invaders — go to your wealthy Muslim brothers in Saudi Arabia. Muslims have BANKRUPTED our countries.
And created DANGEROUS NO GO Muslim zones all over Britain and Europe.
PROTECT our women and children! Deport Muslims!
50 Million Muslims In Europe, 80% Are Beggars and Criminals Living on Western Welfare
Excellent video.
If they were really in a Libyan torture prison, they would be happy to be on a boat. Tough luck! No one forced them on this boat, they chose that. They can choose to go back, too. Europe doesn’t want them.
This is the type of leader Italians need and the rest of Europe wish they had this is the only way to treat these pirates of would be rapist and Islamic jihadi terrorist look how these Africans migrants flooding in Europe behave many like savages these NGO need to be held accountable for there actions and any boat carry mirgrants need to be sunk or seized and never allowed to dock Mr salvini I salute you.
When Italy says no, they mean NO!
