Is there a direction behind the migrant landings in Italy? The question is asked by Nicola Porro, presenter of Stasera Italia on Rete4, to Matteo Salvini, deputy prime minister and leader of the League, guest on the September 14 broadcast: “Criminal organizations in Italy and on the other side of the Mediterranean are coordinated. Then I add one more thing. The feeling, more than a feeling, is that foreign countries, even European countries, are financing associations that contribute to this migratory flow. I am thinking of some governments that allocate millions of euros to the naval missions of some NGOs. I’m on trial on a Spanish ship that was financed by the city of Barcelona to bring immigrants to Italy. There are German institutions that give millions of euros to German NGOs to bring immigrants to Italy. This is indeed. And as an Italian – says Salvini and concludes – this irritates me a lot”. As appeared in an Il Tempo article, half of the NGO ships operating in the Mediterranean fly the German flag.
