The German captain of rescue ships that saved hundreds of migrants’ lives in the Mediterranean has turned down Paris’s highest civilian award, accusing the city of hypocrisy over the treatment of migrants.

“We do not need authorities deciding who is a ‘hero’ and who is ‘illegal’,” Klemp said in a statement on Facebook late on Tuesday.
Addressing Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, she wrote: “You want to award me a medal ... because our crews ‘work to rescue migrants from difficult conditions on a daily basis’.
“At the same time your police steal blankets from people you force to live on the streets while you suppress protests and criminalise people who defend the rights of migrants and asylum seekers.”

If only the French really did that.
This is no hero. Just someone that aids and abets the illegal traffic.
Dummkopf!
It’s fun when two euro liberals bent on destroying Europe try to out virtue one another. A pox on both their smug sanctimonious houses
Klemp is a human trafficker and should be treated as such
“If only the French really did that. “
She’s German.
The same logic could be used to force citizens to allow illegals to take up residence in our homes and access our checking accounts. And when we object to being robbed to call us ‘racist’...
It’s time to stand up to sickie liberal elites - they’re destroying our country, our lives and our communities. This man should not have been offered a metal until AFTER saving the lives of the migrants he had turned his ship around and taken them home.
Let me guess. Instead of taking those he “rescued” to the nearest port so he could quickly get back on station for more rescues, he instead took them north to Europe. How many drowned for his political beliefs.
