Five months ago, Jihad Watch reported, after Italy declared a state of emergency amid a migrant invasion:
Italy needs to do what Hungary has done: shut the door to illegal migration. It makes a mockery of a country’s immigration system, sending an open invitation to jump the queue, invites in the worst criminal and jihadist elements, and is economically unsustainable in the long run. Italy’s problem is longstanding. In 2021, nonstop Muslim migrant landings in Lampedusa became a “situation is out of control.” Lampedusa remains the problem area, as well as the entire Southern coast of Sicily.
And last week, Italy’s crisis was again in the news when some 5,000 to 6,000 illegals arrived on Italy’s Lampedusa Island in a single day, in over 100 boats.
Now Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, whose so-called “far right” Brothers of Italy party won a sweeping majority last year, is now getting slammed by the Hungarian media and France’s Marine Le Pen for her U-turn on immigration policy. In fact, Meloni introduced legislation last month to allow up to 1.5 million new migrants to enter Italy through legal channels. Her reasoning aligns with that of globalists, who say mass migration is needed to fill the void of low birthrates across Europe. Statistics have shown that open-door immigration policies instead import soaring crime, jihad threats, and unemployment. There is a good reason why twelve member EU nations pleaded to the EU for help to finance border walls.
Hungarian news outlet M1 Híradó, which is reportedly ideologically aligned with Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, published a story about Meloni’s surprising “180-degree turn” on immigration since she became prime minister. Remix News stated:
Despite Orbán and other conservative leaders backing Meloni’s campaign, her actions as prime minister have been raising eyebrows in conservative circles across Europe and placed her now in the ranks of pro-migration politicians typically seen on the left-liberal spectrum.
France’s Marine Le Pen also just “joined her Italian ally Matteo Salvini during a rally in Italy where she slammed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni over her handling of Italy’s raging immigration crisis.”
Yet days ago, Meloni “urged its 193 member states to ‘wage a global war’ against smugglers and said Italy would not be turned into “Europe’s refugee camp.’” At the same time, she asked for international help on a migrant invasion that she is not only now condoning but facilitating via legislation. Meloni is in a quandary, as she is evidently being pulled in the direction of globalist politicians while openly supporting a conservative view. This may provide some important insight into her erratic flip-flopping: “With Italy’s borrowing costs soaring, some analysts are saying Meloni is at the mercy of the EU and, perhaps more importantly, the European Central Bank (ECB) to remain in power due to Italy’s delicate economic situation. Just last summer, yields on Italian debt were a mere 0.4 percent and have since jumped close to 4.4 percent and hovered there for months.”
“France’s Le Pen slams Meloni’s handling of Italy’s migrant crisis, refers to ‘cowardice,’” by John Cody Remix News, September 19, 2023:
Marine Le Pen, who leads the National Rally’s parliamentary faction in France, joined her Italian ally Matteo Salvini during a rally in Italy where she slammed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni over her handling of Italy’s raging immigration crisis.
“(There is) trouble, trouble for those leaders who don’t realize there are signs of alarm and danger from the massive arrival of migrants on Lampedusa. An island of 6,000 people, where more than 6,000 migrants arrived in a single day — trouble for the population in which the leaders don’t take action immediately to face this giant challenge,” said Le Pen. Although Le Pen never mentions Meloni by name, the Associated Press characterized the comments as a “swipe” at Meloni during the rally in Pontida, Italy, where thousands gathered to watch Le Pen and Salvini, leader of the Leauge party, speak.
However, in even more shocking terminology, Le Pen referred to Meloni and what she described as “cowardice,” saying that there are those leaders “who justify their cowardice by claiming there is no alternative.”
It is not the first time that Le Pen has lambasted Meloni. Last June, Le Pen said that she recognized Meloni was “hindered” by the budget situation in her country, but that according to Le Pen, “everything is a question of political will.”
With Italy’s borrowing costs soaring, some analysts are saying Meloni is at the mercy of the EU and, perhaps more importantly, the European Central Bank (ECB) to remain in power due to Italy’s delicate economic situation. Just last summer, yields on Italian debt were a mere 0.4 percent and have since jumped close to 4.4 percent and hovered there for months.
Nevertheless, many conservatives in Europe are beginning to sour on Meloni as well, with Hungarian media running critical stories on her handling of the migrant crisis….

Obviously, Soros has been flashing the cash in Meloni’s personal direction.
John Smith says
Yes money talks, and that sounds quite plausible.
Lisel Sipes says
I agree. She is bought and paid for. Sold herself to the highest bidder like a you-know-what!
Peter35 says
Certainly, she has been ‘got at’ in one way or another. Most disappointing. I expected better from her.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Meloni needed to take a page out of Hungary, and announce new incentives for people having more kids in families, and also making it easier in Italy to do business, so that all those extra people would have good jobs. It would also make Italy less dependent on the EU
I watched a Steyn YouTube clip some days ago, where Louise Perry noted that simply importing people wasn’t good b’cos in 2 generations, that new generation of immigrants would again have fewer kids, and then they’d need a fresh wave of immigrants

Infidel,
At least part of the reason why the native birth rate is down in countries like Italy, Germany, France, et cetera, is due to – you guessed it:
MUSLIM MIGRATION
And the fear of its disastrous effect on the future children of the “natives”.
Why would they want to subject their children to this?
J Jay Dupre says
Aren’t we missing another point here? It is only Muslim MEN who are coming across. And men can’t have children – although there are some who claim otherwise. So a mass of Muslim men will have to breed with the existing stock of Italian women if the population is to rise. It makes no sense. The result of this invasion is likely to replicate the social crisis of the one child policy in China – then add Islam on top!

She’s a NWO plant. Tell you what you want to hear and then do what her masters command.

Margaret Thatcher is a good example of strong competent thoughtful female leadership. What I see today in western female leadership should be called, marshmallow Thatcher. What a decline. And to compound the issue we in the west are running out of men to do the hard work. And no, trannies ain’t gonna save us so put that thought out of your mind if its there.
James Lincoln says
tgusa,
Ironically, Margaret Thatcher would be despised by today’s UK Leftists.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
As well as the Tories. She was despised by Labour even back in the 80s

What a dam shame!
