Frankly I don’t think Italy will even notice German withdrawal from that whole “voluntary solidarity” thing.
Italy is so fucked. The EU should be handling this better.
I think Germany received over 1,5 Mio refugees in 2022 alone. I doubt this makes a difference.
Absolutely shameful that this issue continues to fester.
The Italians should bus them there like some Republican governors did in the US
The thing is that 99% are men and not families or women with children.
I thought Mutti said everyone is welcome ???
Am I the only one who thinks this is all a political move?
Like, “if this far-right government is isolated and collapses, we will prevent the same type of government from rising to power in our countries as well”.
AfD is rising in the polls in Germany. Macron, after all the protests against the pension reform, is unlikely to win next elections and Le Pen could take advantage of this.
If they don’t help Italy and let this government of clowns fail, they would have something to discredit their own extremist parties as well.
Germany has way too many refugees, this shit show has to stop. When I go out in my German city I hear every language but German
On one side, I am happy for any pressure put on the Italian fascist government.
On the other side, we are talking about human beings fleeing from conditions so hard that it is worth risking to die in the sea to escape.
I won’t be surprised if in a few years Italy refuses to rescue migrant boats. If this escalates even more, I wouldn’t be against the Italian navy forcibly turning them back

That’s going to upset a few people…
Nothing but good things will come out of this.
> So far, Germany has taken in 1,731 people from other EU countries through the mechanism, including 1,043 from Italy.
