An update to the story that The Point discussed here.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni vowed to resist mass migration. The low bar at stake here is the migrant smuggling operation in which NGOs pick up mostly Muslim migrants and “rescue them” by transporting them to Italy.
The new Italian government lightly put its foot down and refused to let the male migrants leave the smuggling ships and enter Italy.
The migrant smugglers claimed that Italy had an obligation to take them because the Muslim migrants were all vulnerable Italy allowed in women, children and anyone sick and said that the ‘flag states’ or the countries those ships were registered to had to take them.
The standoff proved successful with another migrant ship picking up and going to France.
France’s government has granted a safe port to the Ocean Viking rescue vessel carrying 234 migrants.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said France would welcome the ship’s passengers at the military port in the city of Toulon on Friday.
The Norwegian-flagged vessel — operated by the NGO SOS Méditerranée — has been at sea for nearly three weeks.
Italy had refused to allow the migrants to disembark on Italian territory, sparking a dispute with Paris.
Darmanin said the 230 passengers on board the Ocean Viking subsequently would be divided among France, Germany and other European countries.

Sink it.
Should have sent every last Muslim back without appeal.
Why not just send the parasites back to Dar al-Islam?
Didn’t the French say that Italy should be more compassionate?
Hey, they’re sharing the burden. 😎👌
Italy doesn’t own the ship. They just kept it from docking and forced them to go somewhere else. Somewhere else being France.
Germany also said that Italy should take them in. I’m betting the trip from the Med all the way around Europe to Germany’s ports is a bit much for those savages and the crew, in addition to the weather getting a bit colder.
I guess the crew deserves some sympathy. It’s prolly getting pretty gamey with all those muslims on board.
France has that correct, and will face severe consequences allowing in another horde.
Viva Italia! This is what good leadership looks like!
I think the “extremely severe consequences” of taking these third-worlders in will be in France.
Yes, France will be forced to surrender yet again.

NGOs are evil. They are facilitating mass illegal migration all over. At some point we need to stop funding them.
Perhaps France will phart in Italy’s general direction? 🌬
This!
Sink the transports. When Achmed invader number 666,956 fails to report in, maybe they’ll figure it out... Just because a buttload of useless undesirables washes ashore sure doesn’t mean they must be accepted by some unlucky society. Example being Cuba, they opened their prisons and sent their dregs here.

Return them is the only alternative for Italy. They will eventually not assimilate and try to destroy the Italian Gov’t to turn Italy Muslim. They have already stated their goal is to turn the Vatican into a mosque.
