Back in September, Draghi held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron about doing a better job of managing the flow of Muslim migrants coming into Europe from Afghanistan. By doing a better job, they meant taking in more migrants, since neither of them have any plan to control their own borders.
They slammed the EU’s response, criticizing those member states that were refusing to take in more Afghan refugees. Italy complained that it was “disproportionately affected by refugees arriving from north Africa,” but rather than control his own country’s migrant intake, Draghi expects other countries to fling open their doors to lesson his internal woes. France and Britain have also been pointing the finger elsewhere while failing to control their own borders.
Globalists will go to great lengths to avoid appearing “Islamophobic,” even to the point of abandoning their leadership roles and their responsibility to protect national security and the economies of their countries. They’re apparently hoping that that the problem will magically disappear.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been defending his country’s borders ever since the Syrian refugee crisis, amid constant infringements on his nation’s sovereignty by the EU, which is pressuring Hungary to take in more migrants> Orban has warned that “30,000–35,000 people are leaving Afghanistan every day” and are headed to the EU. Add that to the continued steady stream of migrants from North Africa.
“Landings six times more than in 2019. We cannot do it alone: the EU will help us,” translated from “‘Sbarchi sei volte superiori al 2019. Non possiamo fare da soli: l’Ue ci aiuti,'” by Mauro Indelicato, Il Giornale, December 3, 2021:
Mario Draghi went up on stage just before 9:30 am. In front of him was the audience of the Rome Med 2021, the forum promoted by the ISPI and the Foreign Ministry that every year attracts important actors and observers of the Mediterranean political context. The prime minister has the responsibility of inaugurating the labors that will proceed in the capital until tomorrow.
For Draghi, the intervention represented an opportunity to take stock of the situation on the main dossiers concerning Italy and the Mediterranean Sea. He started the speech discussing Libya. In three weeks, the North African country should go to the vote (the conditional is a must) and therefore face one of the main points of its recent history.
For the head of the Italian government, the elections “must be free, fair and inclusive.” In reiterating that Italy is committed to supporting the Libyan transition, Draghi emphasized, among other things, the importance of the electoral process and the momentum offered by this appointment to seek stability not only for Libya but also for the entire region. So much so that a passage of the speech was dedicated to Tunisia.
“We are close to Tunisia,” declared the head of the government, “as evidenced by the sending of vaccines to deal with the pandemic. We are confident that the country will overcome the current state of emergency and overcome economic and social emergencies.”
When it comes to the Libyan dossier, a reference to the immigration emergency is inevitable. “This year,” said Draghi, “there were six times more landings than in 2019,” with reference to the further increase in irregular arrivals along our coasts. A situation that according to the prime minister cannot be managed by individual states. “Italy,” he always says in his statements, “cannot do everything alone.” The solution should be sought in “greater involvement of all European countries, including in the Mediterranean,” continued Draghi. “Italy continues to promote a European advance towards collective management, in a balance between responsibility and solidarity.”
While on the one hand, the importance of downsizing the number of landings was emphasized, on the other, Draghi himself reiterated his desire to focus on increasing “legal flows of migrants from the most vulnerable countries, which are a resource and not a threat for our community.” A reference perhaps also to the recent humanitarian corridors that have involved numerous citizens who have fled from Afghanistan.
The immigration dossier is an important passage in the speech of the head of government, who also recalled the more general role of the Mediterranean within the EU. “The Mediterranean,” clarified the former governor of the ECB, “is the center of Europe and not a border.” This is because the Mediterranean “is not just a sea or a geographical expression,” we still read in Draghi’s statements, “today as in the past, it is a set of social, economic and cultural ties.”
The prime minister devoted part of the speech to the general situation in the Middle East. In the first place, a resumption of dialogue in the Holy Land was hoped for “to restart a path of peace that leads to a two-state solution.”
“As for Israel,” said Draghi, “we are looking carefully at the normalization process of its relations with the Arab world. The recent crises in Gaza demonstrates, once again, the need to restart international efforts in favor of the peace process. A path that must lead to a viable, just and directly negotiated two-state solution between the parties involved.”
A reference was also made to relations with Iran and the current nuclear dialogue. “We maintain a demanding but constructive dialogue with Tehran,” emphasized the prime minister, “also with regard to nuclear non-proliferation.”
Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio also spoke on the stage of Rome Med 2021. Alongside the concerns about the migrant crises and the many dossiers open in the political field, the head of the Farnesina wanted to talk about the energy opportunities that have emerged in recent years. “The discoveries of gas fields in the eastern Mediterranean present concrete opportunities for common growth,” he says.
Michael Copeland says
“The Mediterranean … is the center of Europe and not a border”, said Draghi,“today as in the past, it is a set of social, economic and cultural ties.”
What Utopian claptrap..
The Mediterranean is a self-evident and unmistakable border.
European Christian cultural ties are shared by states on the European shore.
African and Islamic ties are shared along the African shore.
The cultural ties are not mutual.

Italy’s prime minister notes that migrant landings in his country are six times higher than in 2019
…………
And it was pretty bad two years ago, too. I just hope Italy and other European nations finally act to stop this invasion.
Rufolino says
Suicidal stupidity.
No one is looking to the future, and the predictable outcome.
European leaders are under the delusion that to accept migrants is “moral”. They appear to despise their own countries and culture.
They are paving a path leading to an eventual catastrophe.
Today’s European leaders don’t want to see beyond their own noses.
James Lincoln says
Rufolino says,
“European leaders are under the delusion that to accept migrants is “moral”.”
Yes, pathological altruism / virtue signaling, etc…
john smith says
For years I’ve been waiting for a true leader to emerge in some EU country. Some strong leader that will fight for Europe, someone that will stop this invasion. It will happen one day, but lets hope it will happen before it’s to late.

I’m one who is somewhat content, to keep watching NON muslim countries, just keep allowing them in. Because the day it stops completely, will mean that the 7 year Tribulation is about to start (or satan has gathered enough of his subjects to all non muslim countries, to start their “jobs”), or has started.
If you are a bible prophecy student, then you would say, that a 7 year peace plan has to be signed between two certain countries, before that (a 7 year Tribulation period), can start, and I’d draw your attention to what Trump did, right before he left office. That is what I call, getting that 7 year peace treaty, and the 7 year Tribulation, it begins, ball rolling.
Think how every president since Carter, has tried to be the first president to grab that gold ring, or has tried to get that unreachable peace plan. And every president since Carter has failed.
Now, as I wonder why we have a president whose name could be “short for trumpet”, and how many times is that word used in Revelation? And if you agree with me, that almost all presidents, including Trump, has said that they were a Christian, while doing some very awful, un-christian acts around the world, and to their own citizens), and that Trump is NOT a Christian, then he could of given that peace agreement he made with those three or four Middle East countries, a name of ANYTHING! So what possessed him to give, the beginnings of a future and coming soon, 7 year agreement, a NAME OUT OF THE BIBLE!
Now, after that second country signed up with peace with Israel, I was already thinking that Trump was going to be the “man” in future, but coming soon, Tribulation, and after he left office, I was already planning the future, with him being voted in office again, and finishing what he started, to bring the Tribulation to start. And he said himself, that he was definitely going to run again in 2024. But months later, after hearing his declaration of his running again (which had me excited, but not because I liked him!), a most mind blowing revelation begain. Middle Eastern countries are starting to slowly deciding that THEY (which is absolutely mind numbing to see), want to join other Middle Eastern countries in peace with Israel! No president required!! (And I’m sure, not one of those countries, or even Trump, will know what major world wide event, they had hands in the making of, or that they will have participated in!)
What I’m waiting on now, is ENOUGH countries, a LOT of countries…why? Something one person, or one president could NOT do….but a lot of neighboring countries can, and that is…put a LOT OF PRESSURE on a certain country, that STILL wants to say, NO to peace with Israel.
So, when a LOT of all of these agreeing countries ALL TURN to that naughty country, that refuses to play with them, and sign up like they all did, for peace with Israel, only ALL OF THEM, can turn up the pressure, twist an arm, do something to this country, perhaps economically, but it would have to be enough, for this country who has said NO, since Carter days, to FINALLY decide to have a change of heart (and no wonder at THAT!).
And what comes out now (as we watch that leader wipe tears)? An already made 7 year peace plan, that no one knows, even the one country who has made Revelation come to fruitation, that signing THAT plan, begins the 7 year Tribulation, or the “beginning of the end”, or everything in Revelation to start happening, that brings so much horror to the world, that has never before been as bad. Silver lining? Everyone will FINALLY be able to put the TRUE name to who the Antichrist is….after so many evil men, down through the centuries, such as Hitler, being one that received that label! (So about that worldwide, but evil man, the pope: The trinity of satan, from copying God’s trinity, is “Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet, who after watching evil actions, and evil words about God were said, already know that whoever is in the office of the pope, when the Tribulation starts, will autimatically have the label….the False Prophet….Satan will need an EVIL religious figure, who billions of people around the world, love and worship. Those many ignorate people who adore the pope, will be putty in satan’s hand, sadly!)
So, watch for another Middle Eastern country joining the group, and then another (number of, I know not, but enough to do “the job”…..and know the end of days is really coming, and it’s close! Then start deciding which master you’ll be following! No more middle of the fence stuff!
So at the beginning of my comment, I mentioned satan’s workers being placed in all of these many non muslim countries (you didn’t think that they loved that country, the people there, the food, or even all the free stuff they get, is the reason they couldn’t get there, fast enough, did you?)
So instead of making another detailed comment on why this huge and almost daily immigration keeps happening, I’ll just direct you to a verse, in the bible, and you’ll notice a very evil word, or something very bad that happens. Rev 20:4…put that in your browsers search box, and look for a word, that muslims love (that same word is in THEIR book too, and they’ve been taking it literally, since the beginning of time, so they have no problem with it!
That’s why satan needs every one of those billions, he placed in 27 or 28 NON muslim countries. This is what happens during what I spoke about what’s coming soon, the 7 year Tribulation. Who else would do Rev 20:4 to Christians and Jews, and anyone who doesn’t take satan’s mark?? Do all of those non-muslim country citizens HATE THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE WITH A PASSION? No, ok maybe some, but those are helping the muslims then, wiping out, exterminating (by the act mentioned in Rev 20:4), all the Jews, Christians, who won’t take their boss’s mark. It’s a LARGE job, needing many who would be more than happy to work for their boss…now doesn’t THAT sound like a more normal explanation for billions of those “type of people”, to be immigrating to countries that they have no love for, or the people there? Some can’t even be patient and wait for the soon coming Tribulation, and decide to practice their skills on the populous, where their horrifying acts of murder, are seen everywhere, as just “mental health” problems, and people on this site, and others, are scratching their heads, and wondering, WHY so MANY of those type of people have so many “mental illness’s”, like the lying elite keep telling the dumbed down people, who believe their lies!
