Rome Clashes with Berlin Over German NGOs Helping Illegal Migration
The European Conservative ^ | August 18, 2026 | Javier Villamor

Posted on 08/21/2026 5:21:02 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

More than half of the illegal migrants disembarked in Italy by NGO vessels since Giorgia Meloni came to power were brought there by German organisations.

Of the 42,338 people that entered Italy via NGO operations since October 2022, 22,513—just over 53%—arrived aboard vessels linked to German organisations. If organisations of other nationalities operating German-flagged ships are included, the figure rises to around 27,000.

Italy received 157,651 people by sea in 2023, 66,617 in 2024, and 66,316 in 2025. Vessels operated by these types of organisations—some of which have been accused of people trafficking—accounted for approximately 8% of all arrivals in 2023.

The role of German NGOs in dumping tens of thousands of migrants in Italy has now become a political issue between Rome and Berlin.

Italy should arrest the Germans for human smuggling.

Confiscate the sea vessels.

The NGOs have really nice ships. This part of the Repopulation Program works as follows:

1) Selected people (and those paying) are brought to the Northern Coast of Libya and loaded into small boats.
2) The boats are driven just over 3 miles off the coast (international waters) and then their engines fail, and so they send out a distress call.
3) The NGO ships, which seem to always be in the area, come and ‘rescue’ the ‘refugees’ and take them 147 miles north to the coast of Spain, France, or Italy.
4) The small boats which brought the ‘refugees’ into international waters are towed back to shore, where the people who launched the boats examine their condition and discover that someone had closed the fuel supply valve - so they simply open it up again.
5) The boats are then used for the next batch of ‘refugees’.

Been going on for 10 years now, and no way to forcibly return ‘refugees’ other than a bloodbath, although many go back home for the holidays, so the countries could, at that point, deny them re-entry, but that likely violates EU rules, so no-go for that option either.

Any attempt to stop the flow is met by fierce resistance from the college-educated European women, so you have to fight them just to get started on addressing the situation.

Europe is defeated.

“Europe is defeated.”

A nightmare, we can’t wake up from.

NGOs and “non-profits” need to be fumigated out of existence.
