The French interior minister warned “there will be extremely severe consequences.”
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.
Resistance is not futile.
France has responded with angry threats.
The French interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said Rome’s refusal to answer calls for help from the ship in Italian waters was “incomprehensible” and “unacceptable”. He said it was “obvious that there will be extremely severe consequences for bilateral relations” between France and Italy.
What’s incomprehensible is allowing countries to be invaded by those trying to destroy them.
The name Ocean Viking is appropriate since the passengers are ‘viking’ to raid Europe.

“It was obvious that there will be extremely severe consequences for bilateral relations between France and Italy”.
As a consequence, France will launch a “special military operation” against Italy.
Last time, Napoleon Bonaparte did this and it didn’t end well for the French.

The Italians have learned.
Peacelover says
+ at least someone has
Wellington says
The French have a great knack for never learning.
Raja says
Wellington,
Sadly, very true. This is compounded by their looney religious practices though they still have some identity of themselves.
Keith O says
Smart move by the Italian government.
All that is needed now is for every other nations governments to grow a set of balls and do the same thing.
Make the entire civilised world a no go zone for these invading barbarians.
Uma Maheswar Nakka says
True
Peacelover says
+ same thoughts here
John ..Smith says
Salvini tried to do something similar a few years ago, he wouldn’t allow the migrants to dock. When a new Italian government was installed, he had to face a charge of kidnapping them. Lets hope the same thing doesn’t happen here.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Now, if only Suella Braverman could copy this technique by the Italians and send all those Albinos to Calais, or wherever on the French coast
Raja says
Infidel,
That would be a revolution in Europe and hopefully question the Left agenda of obliviating nationhood etc. Even monkeys would do this kind of copying job much better. Let’s wait and watch.
Raja says
John Smith,
Hope wiser council prevails. It is a kind of ongoing tug-of-war between the sane and the insane. Hope the nationalists get a chance to prove their sanity. It is so difficult to engage the eternally insane narcissists.

The hypocrisy of the French is Gauling. These are the same French who facilitate mass people smuggling at Calais.
Shalom says
So astoundingly true!
Alkflaeda says
A politician who keeps her word – how refreshing. And maybe – just maybe – this has conveyed a message to the migrants that being Muslim does not automatically make them lord of all they survey.
NoTaqiyya says
The treacherous dirtbags who profit by the destruction of their own nations deserve the utter contempt of all the Patriots of Europe.
It’s way past time this smuggling operations were called by their proper name. Profitable racquets operated by mafias disguised as NGOs.
These same mafias are well funded by so-called philanthropists with deep pockets who hire legal scumbags who know how to exploit all the loopholes in tax legislations to extract funds from the tax payers of the target countries.
In plain English, the target countries of Europe are unknowingly funding the invasion of their countries by totally incompatible aliens used as pawns by smuggling mafias, funded by well connected racquets disguised as “humanitarian” NGOs.

Send these ships in trouble to Tunisia as it is closer than both Italy and France or is that way too much logic for them to deal with.
Lenny Leaps In says
All the migrants want to go the UK. The Italians are merely helping them on their way.
I am from Australia and for the past 12 years or so we forcefully intercept all boats and send then straight back – even if this includes back to the shores of Muslim Indonesia. We do not care about people smuggling operations.
