German interior minister Horst Seehofer is pressuring Italy to open its ports and take in illegal migrants from Libya, despite the mess Germany is in with its own Muslim migrant crisis: crime, no-go zones, jihad attacks and skyrocketing costs.
Troubling news just surfaced: an Eritrean refugee charged with murdering an 8-year-old child by pushing him in front of a moving train in Frankfurt was described by Horst Seehofer as “an example of successful integration.” And in the German city of Stuttgart, a 36-year-old man was hacked to death in broad daylight by a Palestinian posing as Syrian migrant. Still, Seehofer remains willfully blind to the state of his own country, while interfering in the business of another.
Seehofer’s demands were stonewalled by Italian Deputy Prime Minister of Italy and Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini, who has refused to open his country’s ports despite Germany’s pressure. Salvini has stated that Italy’s ports will remain closed and reaffirmed: “We are not the refugee camp in Europe.”
Reports emerged in early July that “as many as 660,000 refugees still remain in Libya looking for a way into Europe.” And in mid-July, another report emerged that Libyan leader Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj threatened the EU with 800,000 more migrants, including “criminals and terrorists,” if the EU did not intervene to help Libya in the crisis in his country that has been caused by jihadist groups and rival factions.
The crises of Muslim countries have now become the problem of Western countries that have failed to manage their borders. Meanwhile, Antifa groups have been raising money to aid in the transport of illegal Libyan migrants by ship to the EU.
“Germany Demands Italy Open Ports as NGO Picks up More Migrants”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 1, 2019:
German interior minister Horst Seehofer has requested Italy re-open ports to migrant transport vessels as NGOs ramp up operations off the coast of Libya.
The German minister had asked Italian populist interior minister Matteo Salvini what the point of closing ports was when many migrants have eventually ended up in Italy, Il Giornale reports.
“I want to avoid the same pattern being repeated every time, with a ship with migrants waiting for eight or 14 days in front of Italy’s coasts and Salvini who does not want them to go ashore. But it always ends up docking anyway, either because migrants collapse, get sick, or there are pregnant women,” Seehofer said.
Seehofer’s words come as the Italian coastguard vessel, the Gregoretti, spent five days with migrants on board before a deal was reached Wednesday afternoon to have the migrants distributed to six different countries including Germany and France.
Matteo Salvini responded to his German counterpart’s comments, saying: “We are not opening anything, the ports remain closed.”
“We are not the refugee camp in Europe,” Mr Salvini added.
The response echoes similar comments made by Salvini last week in response to French President Emmanuel Macron who slammed the Italian minister for not attending a conference on migration in Paris.
“Italy will not be your refugee camp… There is the port of Marseille, don’t come and put pressure on us. If you expect us to sign a document where ships arrive in Italy, you are wrong. Italians are no longer going to be anyone’s slaves,” Salvini said.
Despite ongoing court cases against several NGOs and their captains, such as German NGO Sea Watch’s Carola Rackette and Pia Klemp, NGO activity has increased off the Libyan coast….
Angemon says
I hope, this time, the Italians tell the Germans to go f*** themselves – or, at least, say “we’ll let in as many as you want, just as long as you’re willing to settle them in your territory ASAP because, as soon as they set foot on Italian soil, we’ll ship them on a plane to Germany”.
Nicu says
They come to germany anyway – by planes . WE germans don’t want them and ” our ” politicians – don’t care about us – they are puppets in an occupied land – what do they have to ask for ??? Go Salvini !!!
Anjuli Pandavar says
You could drive them out yourselves by for example, you know, vigorous non-violence. It is, after all, YOUR country and not theirs.
Thereader says
Let them be sent to a Muslim country – Saudis have taken nil refugees. Same with Iran. Muslims to Muslims, I say.
Terry M. Schaible says
Every place the Muslin’s go they make problems, Plan and simple, We don’t owe those people anything, Leave them in their own country, And tell them to clean up there own mess’s.
smoris says
This is the definitive and conclusive argument for national sovereignty. Dissolve these stupid artificial “unions” and all of their commissions and regulations. Get rid of these disgusting elitists and consign them to the dysfunctional rotted out neighborhoods of crime and fear they have created throughout once-beautiful Europe.
Dapto says
Germans can’t help but be Nazis
mortimer says
They are using Muslims as surrogate Nazis to finish what Hitler started … a mad Utopia. Hitler’s last plan was to wipe Germans out entirely since he thought they had ‘betrayed’ his grand, mad vision.
The Kalergi Plan is another mad vision.
dai says
no,
Kesselman says
Let’s face it, nothing changes as long as the ppl vote the same politicians as usual. CDU—the Christian Democratic Union—used to be center-right; with Angie Merkel, the party is now left-leaning (her childhood and adolescence in DDR).
jarmanray says
++++++1 Kesselman, I bet that Conrad Adenauer and others, who ensured that West Germany remained free of the Soviet yoke and built a great nation, are crying in their graves as they are witnessing the destruction of the great democracy that the CDU helped create.
mortimer says
The Kalergi Plan is still taken as holy revelation by many European Leftarded Pollyannas who know virtually nothing about Islam. They are the cosmopolitan bourgeois élites who think of themselves as enlightened. Everyone who disagrees with them is a ‘bigot’ and anyone who disagrees with the Kalergi Plan is called a ‘racist’ even if they are the Dalai Lama or former Muslims.
These cosmopolitan elitists would never think of learning about what Islam teaches by reading Islam’s source texts. We must find ways of penetrating the smug imperviousness of these lightweight, bourgeois boneheads.
James Lincoln says
Mortimer,
You are correct in your analysis. What I can’t understand is why the typical Jihad Watch reader knows more about Islam than the typical Western European leader – with their vast resources.
It’s not like the information is not out there…
Jay says
I respect Salvini for protecting the soverignity of Italy!! Poland and Hungary are doing the same, closing their borders and protecting their soverignity and identity. Germany, England, France, Sweden, Norway, etc etc are all but lost by the unfettered invasion of Muslims with no acclimation at all. It’s insanity on steroids!
These countries are suffering from crime, disease, no go zones, terror attacks, rapes, murder, etc etc by immigrants who only demand and never acclimate ! Not to mention the immense cost to tax paying citizens of these countries. The open border groups should be tried for crimes against humanity and put in jail. And make sure George Soros and his sons are the first ones to be incarcerated , as well as Merkel and Macron. Europe will no longer be Europe ! England will no longer be England. It’s very sad to think
WWII was fought to save Europe and the world and to now see its destruction from within by the progressive communist one world order lunatics!! Pm Churchill is not resting easy today!
I hope the lord saves Europe from this destruction from within. Those who do not study history are bound to repeat it!!
The USA also has a huge problem at our southern border causing the same crimes and costs. Hopefully
Pres Trump stays strong ! Build the wall.
God bless and save Europe!
God bless America!????????
Vicky K says
This is what happens when your leadership becomes more concerned with ‘world’ situations, than the welfare of their own country and people. The very thought of allowing an invasion of your borders, your streets, by violent barbarians, just to please governing bodies outside your borders, is unconscionable.
Yet that is what’s happening in every industrialized Western nation.
In the Americas, the United States government is welcoming all the illegals passing through south and central Americas. Because the citizens of the United States are sitting back and allowing this crime being waged against them by their leaders, soon there will be no United States as defined by the constitution. Liberty and freedom will be lost forever.
tgusa says
It is the atrocious leadership that are the faces behind the ongoing destruction of western civilization. Leadership that has created a climate of hopelessness, especially in younger westerners, and that is leading some to respond in illogical ways. These are illogical responses to illogical policies but that is the result of leadership that does not care what they are doing. They do not care about the futures, the lives and livelihoods of young westerners. That atrocious leadership along with their supporters are the faces behind most of what we see happening today and it will only get worse. A dark cloud has materialized over western civilization but that cloud is not the result of natural phenomena, it is man made, it has been intentional.
Keys says
Couple this (Germany telling Italy to let the Muslims in) with Turkey’s demand to be a member of the EU with no passport required for Turks to go to any Schengen countries (all of Europe essentially). If Turkey does not get it’s way they threaten “opening the floodgates” of migration to Europe.
Muslims do not assimilate; they dominate or annihilate. See Dr. Bill Warner video on Muslim migration:

Keys says
And do not forget that Germany not only dissed Italy, but also just dissed the USA as reported on JW:
“NATO ally Germany refuses to back U.S. in Gulf out of fear of Iran”
David says
We do not want Muslims to assimilate. We want them to disintegrate.
jarmanray says
Rather than insult and threaten Europe, Libyan Foreign Minister Fayez should simply take the deadbeats and dump them into the middle of the Saharan Desert and give them maps pointing the direction from which they slimed from.
Georg says
Didn’t realize when Angela Merkel said, “We must accept that migrants are more criminal” the “we” referred to Italians as well. Nice. Wonder who else the “we” refers to. Obviously not Saudi Arabia or the U.A.E. As the Saudis said (paraphrasing), the migrants are “too culturally different.” But not so different the Saudis don’t send hundreds of millions to Germany to build mosques for the migrants… Mosques inculcating Saudi Wahhabism in these people who are supposedly so un-Saudi-like they couldn’t possibly understand Saudi culture. Hmm.
Dan Celli says
There are over 50 Muslim countries. We know why Muslims want to go to Western countries, and that is to force their violent oppressive way of life on Europe. After all, Muslim countries speak their language, their religion, costumes , but no, they want to eat Europe to death, bite by bite. Merkel ruined Europe, because the Muslims can now slither to Italy, France, Spain etc. Borders are more important than ever. The left in the States want the borders open and let people in we don’t know, and some are killers, rapists, thieves, gangbangers, drug dealers etc. The left tries to say or imply 100 percent are gentle lambs. There is no such thing that ALL people are good, that’s why we lock our doors. We know better than our leaders. As we speak, they keep betraying us. Salvini and a few other counties have come to their senses. Wasn’t Hungary one of the smart ones, they want to keep their culture, not have it destroyed. Some leaders , Hungary, Italy etc. love their people, where as Merkel does NOT.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Leave Schengen.
andra says
Italy will not leave Schengen for a long time. With Schengen it is much easier to send those migrants who already live in Italy to the North. With Schengen these people only have to hop on the train in Roma or Milano and travel North to Wien or München. When leaving the train there they shout Asylum and Italy is rid of them. If they left Schengen Austria might close the borders and might not let these people in any moreand Salvini had to clean up himself the mess his precessors left for him.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Good points, andra. I was actually thinking that since many (most) illegal migrants want to go further north anyway, blocking them from doing so will stem their entry in the first place, leaving Italy with fewer illegal migrants to fight to keep out. If Austria did the same, then that route, too, would be blocked, stemming entry in the first place. The complicit NGOs will instantly communicate any such impediments to the people smugglers, figure out alternative points of entry and facilitate transfer to such points. Talk about moving pawns on a chessboard!
Wellington says
Again proving what Goethe said, to wit, the Germans make trouble for themselves and for everyone else as well.
Sorry, but even though the Germans excel in many areas like music, literature, cars, architecture, medical instruments, etc., the parts are greater than the whole and with a truly great people the whole must be even greater than the parts. Germany fails here as does Russia.
tgusa says
Here is Germany leading the charge in the destruction of western Europe for the third time in just about 100 years. I am a firm believer in three strikes and you are out. Obviously, they have ignored the message after the first and second time.
andra says
The deconstruction of Europe is not a German Business Right now. In the EU there are 29 countries and again and again the Leaders come to the consent to flood Europe with invadors. It was already in 2004 that the EU-Commission decided in consent to import 50 millions from Africa. The leading role in this decision had Tony Blair. ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS – exept Hungary, Austria and Italy – have signed the Global pact of Migration. No one single country would be in power to force 25 others to sign this selfdestrucive paper. The same counts for the Turkey-deal with paying millions for “immigrants”.
The only thing is that the Germans are more in focus than the others.
tgusa says
“The only thing is that the Germans are more in focus than the others.”
That is why I said, leading the charge. But you are right, their are many supporters/backers in the EU as well as those 25 countries. All around the globe, as a result of atrocious leadership, chaos reigns. It has become so bad I have to believe that chaos (complete disorder and confusion) is the plan.

Germany pressures Italy to open its ports to Muslim migrants
………………..
Good to see Salvini telling the to take a hike.
Lydia Church says
“Germany pressures Italy to open its ports to Muslim migrants”…
If they have a death wish, then they might take them up on that offer!
However, I don’t think that is the case.
Good for Salvini, just say NO!
andra says
I agree with Salvini that the ports should stay closed for all “refugee”-boats. But I do not really trust him.
1. Again and again he lets in pregnant women or so-called minors. And now there are Always mainly pregnant women and minors on the boats.
2. He Insults the German “refugee-helpers” but not the Italian ones.
3. His own marine has taken in migrants and did not return them to Africa. And even then, with an official Italian boat he refuses to keep these people.
4. Italiy is not the refugee-camp for Europe. The main in-takers are still Germany, Sweden and Austria.
I really had hope when he started his work but I am worried that he only uses the refugee-thing to win the next vote without really working on stopping the Invasion into Europe.
And by the way, it was not Seehofer/Germany who said the child-murderer in Frankfurt was well-integratet. It were the Swiss officials, where this man has lived for the last eight years. And by now it is also official that he is Christian and not Muslim. Wether he has been Christian in Eritrea or converted in Switzerland in order to get an asylum-acceptance more easily is not confirmed.
Robert says
He was even the posterboy for a pro immigration campaign! fail
Robert says
Funny fact: Berlin alone has more refugees than complete Italy! I just don‘t understand it. Facts: Below 3% of refugees in the EU are able for any kind of work in the west. 70% of people receiving social benefits are migrants. What do they expect?! That the next generation is becoming smarter? 4/5 of turkish students (all ready being raised in Germany) at German universities do not even finish, but take space due to a migrant benefiting program. Something is f fishy here
patriotliz says
Why are they called “refugees?”
What are they seeking refuge from?—ISLAM.
What are they bringing to Europe?—ISLAM.
They should fix their own Islamic sh**holes.
Wherever Muslims migrate, Islamic Hell follows.
Giacomo Latta says
Seedorf: it was you and Merkel who started this mess so you two dumbkopfs can clean it up. Think of all the ”refugees” crossing the Mediterranean right now. If you don’t send the Queen Mary II to pick them up and drop them off at Hamburg then you are clearly racist.
Rick Asensio says
Never! Go AfD!
