France, Italy Agree on ‘Automatic’ Settlement of Migrants Across Europe
With Italy’s Salvini out of office, the EU is wasting no time in steamrolling its open borders agenda.
French President Emmanuel Macron has reached a deal with the newly-formed Italian government, agreeing to resettle migrants that enter Italy by boat.
Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte “have agreed on a new system to distribute migrants across the European Union,” German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle disclosed.
The announcement comes just weeks after Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s right-wing Liga party dropped out of the ruling coalition in Rome. Under Savilni’s reign, the country had shuttered its ports for EU-backed ‘rescue’ boats carrying migrants from North Africa, a move bitterly opposed by France and Germany. Salvini’s Liga came to power in June 2018 after forming a coalition government with the left-wing 5-Star party. The strict immigration policy adopted by the government had drastically reduced illegal immigration into the country.
Following Salvini’s departure earlier this month, the ruling 5-Star and the center-right Democratic Party (PD) formed a pro-EU government in Rome. The new government has now re-opened the country’s harbors to migrant boats.
Germany’s Deutsche Welle reported the latest European migrant resettlement deal:
French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte called Wednesday for the EU to introduce a new automatic system to distribute migrants across the bloc, as the two countries sought to patch up an acrimonious relationship under Italy’s previous anti-migrant populist government.
Italy has long complained that other EU member states have not shared the burden as hundreds of thousands of people arrived on its shores in recent years after making the dangerous boat journey across the Mediterranean.
“The European Union hasn’t shown enough solidarity with countries handling first arrivals, notably Italy,” Macron said after talks with Conte in Rome.
“France is ready to develop this in the framework of overhauling the Dublin accords,” said Macron, referring to the EU regulation which assigns responsibility for migrants to the nation of first entry into the bloc.
“I am convinced that we can agree on an automatic redistribution mechanism” under the auspices of the European Commission, he continued.
Germany will be taking in a significant portion of migrants under the new agreement. Last week, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced the decision to accept 25 percent of all migrants arriving in Italy by boat.
While the German mainstream media and political parties cheered the decision, the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) slammed Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government for offering incentives to illegal immigrants by granting them blanket asylum. Seehofer found the criticism of the government’s asylum policy baseless. “[It is] unbelievable that one should have to justify something like this,” he responded.
The Franco-Italian migrant pact is the latest example of top European elites pushing their open-door immigration policy without bothering to consult the elected governments of the EU member states. In 2015, Merkel signed an agreement with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, agreeing to take in hundreds and thousands of migrants each year from Turkey’s refugee camps and settling them across Europe. According to Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the direct intake of migrants from Turkey under Chancellor Merkel’s plan could be as high as half a million per year.
With Salvini out of office, the EU is wasting no time in steamrolling its open borders agenda in the Mediterranean, opening up the continent for millions of illegal migrants from Arab North Africa and the Middle East. As the EU, driven by Macron and Merkel, pushes ahead with its project of reshaping Europe through mass immigration, Europe’s ruling elite do not see any need to consult their electorates. Instead, they apparently believe in flooding Europe with illegal immigrants and creating irreversible facts on the ground.

I’m so glad my grandparents left ASAP near the end of the 19th century. Now I worry about the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren having to combat the Socialist-Democrats welcoming working to legalize illegal aliens crossing the border here.
Much of the strongest blood, except for the upper class level which was perfectly comfortable staying, left then. And now after the fighting men were cut down in two world wars, it appears that the stock in Europe is quite docile and mediocre. Soft.
They are being submerged. Oh well.
As we are submerging ourselves here. Our government finds every little flimsy excuse to sent our fighting men (our heartiest stock) to be cut to pieces under rules of engagement written by lawyers, and not flag officers. Korea, Vietnam, too many in the Middle East to describe, and Afghanistan.
Now, we are sending more to Saudi Arabia so the Princes can sit back and do nothing while we do their bidding.
Salvini took a gamble, breaking his coalition to force new elections. Only, a new coalition formed without him. They only have a couple more years of a mandate though, so he may double his influence while out of power in the mean time. If there’s an “Italy” left by then.
For anything that goes wrong while this government is in power, Salvini can just sit back and say “I told you so!”.
You all have fun with that. This should galvanize the Brexiteers IMO.
It’s out of the hands of the Brexiteers as far as I can tell. Unless Parliament’s reconvening is delayed to 1 Nov., nobody’s been able to show how Brexit can survive.
The EU does not have that pescky 2A to deal with. They can just accelerate the plan. No pesky citizen resistance.
This is transparently a jihad via immigration and subsequent procreation. There is no other way to describe it.
Unlimited immigration and open borders — gleefully enabled and championed by self-congratulatory, naive and idiotic dhimmi leaders, will accomplish in less time what scores of Muslim warlords couldn’t accomplish, over centuries — the total conquest of Europe (save Switzerland and the Visegrad states), under the bootheel of Islamic totalitarianism.
What policies do African countries follow when European immigrants land foot upon their utopian shores?
Generally the potentate is paid off and they are protected. China does business there that way and rigorously avoids any mixing of their people with the locals, even bringing in their own food on boats.
That’s not true. The Chinese are relieving the burdens of their Pro-Choice, selective, opportunistic (e.g. one-child) policies, and settling Africa, and claiming resources, through immigration reform and marriage.
I really doubt Chinese men want to marry Africans. Are they?
Sickening. Sickening. If they don’t outlaw the koran, Europe will be toast sooner rather than later.
“Mein Koran” will replace “Mein Kampf” as the supremacist and totalitarian jackboots’ tome of choice.
The fecklessness boggles the mind. Unbelievable. What does it take for European leaders to learn? How many bomb blasts? How many no-go areas? How many sexual assaults? How many people made roadkill? WHAT does it take for them to see? What does the EU’s learning disability stem from? Is it curable?
Learn what? This is what the leaders want.
Look how the progressive fascists want to bring in massive numbers of Muslim barbarians into the USA. Hillary promised 500,000 of terrorists direct from Syria and ISIS.
The progress of anti-nativism, immigration reform, and collateral damage at both ends of the bridge and throughout in the wake of social justice adventures, abortion fields, democratic gerrymandering, and the popularity of planned posterity.
This article seems to use “legal” and “illegal” interchangeably. Best leave it out—exactly how and by what legal mechanism the migrating hordes arrive in Europe is probably irrelevant.
So, the French-Italian-German Suicide Pact is on again. What will Poland and Hungary do?
They’re no longer even claiming to be “refugees”.
They are economic migrants or hijrah-ists (islamic conquest via migration).
Either way, they will overwhelm the countries economically, socially, culturally and kill it if not stopped asap. It’s horrifying to witness the destruction.
Are Macron and Conte arrogant enough to ship migrants to the UK before Brexit?
In all likelihood: yes. The downtick is mine; I was reaching for Reply on. touch screen. It was not intentional.
Africa has 1 billion people now
By 2100 it is claimed Africa will have 4 billion
They can’t feed the ones they have, where do you think they will go?
The irradiation of childhood diseases has allowed unfettered populations growth
Some of the largest cities in Africa have 21 million people, 22 million…
Pretty sure the elephants, lions, giraffes are toast
A small correction: Italy’s Democratic Party is at best center-left, not center-right.
This is nothing short of genocide of indigenous European peoples. We fought the wrong side in WWII. This BS would’ve never happened had we let Hitler smash communism, which he was well on his way to. Patton even said as much.
And, I suppose the genocide of six million Jews is acceptable collateral damage to you, as the price for Hitler’s anti-communist services? Only a total reprobate and a fool offers commentary such as you have. Hitler was also allied with the Arab Jew-haters, hosting their leaders in Berlin, but, you’re obviously unaware of this fact, which further underscores the rank stupidity of your comment.
The National Socialists and Islamic supremacists were in the same bed, genius.
