Migrations for Libya and from Libya are still a problem and, to pay for it, it is the same local population. “The Libyans want the immigration phenomenon to be stopped”, Jamal Adel tells us, a boy who is part of the Tebu tribe in Kufra in the south-east of the country.
“It would be a great thing if the new interior minister Matteo Salvini could stop the migration problem", another boy who requested anonymity for security reasons and who works for an organization that monitors conflicts in Sebha tells us, a town destroyed by human trafficking.
The boy then adds that “few newspapers are interested in what Libyans think about the migration phenomenon but, actually, we want this phenomenon to stop because it is seriously damaging our country".
Mac K. B. Simpsons, Ghanaian and migration expert who lives in Tripoli, he tells us: “It is important that this trafficking is stopped before the migrants even enter Libya”.
For many Libyans the problem is to be found above all in the NGOs operating in the Mediterranean: “Traffickers rely on NGOs, it has already been proven that they collaborate. They also feed the Libyan and Italian mafias", says Adel. Read More

The pact with Malta that gives us immigrants
by

Of Paolo Becchi e Cesare Sacchetti on Libero, 25/05/2017

While the landings of migrants on the Italian coasts continue and controversies rage over the responsibilities of NGOs regarding their alleged collaboration with smugglers, more than a few observers have wondered why NGO ships don't even think of bringing migrants to Malta. The small island in the middle of the Mediterranean is no longer affected by the problem today, yet it is located closer to the Libyan coast than Sicily, and according to the rules of international law, migrants should be accompanied to the closest and safest port of destination for their safety. Malta has all the characteristics required by the case, but NGO ships do not even consider approaching Maltese ports. The issue reopens a debate that began last year, when the leader of the opposition and the Maltese nationalist party, Simon Musuttil, in a statement quoted by The Independent, he openly accused the Maltese government of treason for having signed a tacit agreement with Rome.
Which agreement is the Maltese politician referring to?? According to Musutti, Rome and Valletta have reached an agreement which provides for the interruption of the arrival of migrants on the Maltese coasts in exchange for the concession of oil exploitation rights in the stretch of sea south-east of Sicily, halfway between this and Malta. On this point there was a bitter dispute between the two countries which reached its peak in 2012. In that period, in fact, the government of Rome extended the stretch of sea where oil drilling was carried out until it reached, according to Valletta, in Maltese territorial waters. According to an independent study carried out by the company ERC Equipoise, the stretch of sea in question could yield a quantity of oil equal to approximately 260 million barrels. From here the clash between Rome and Valletta arose. Read More

Orban's rise in Europe: Hungary as an alternative model
Source: The eyes of war
Viktor Orban has become, over the years, one of the most important leaders in Europe. And now, his message, begins to penetrate the entire continent.
The victory of John Jansa in Slovenia, ally of Orban, it is an unmistakable signal. Not so much in the numbers of the electoral victory, but in meaning. The group Visegrad, the one to which Hungary is part, has a new ally in Ljubljana.
And the merits of this victory are largely to be assigned to the Hungarian prime minister who was able not only to ride the wave of protest (particularly on migrant issue), but also penetrate the political debate. Clear messages, simple words, deep meanings. Like the last appeal addressed to the Slovenian people “Vote for the survival of the nation”.

Even the European Union, for the same year, contributed funding for 46,8 million euros which however represent only the 2,7 percent compared to the burden placed on the state budget and on the shoulders of Italian citizens.
To this must be added the cost for the country of the failed relocation of migrants in other European states, on the date of 15 October 2017, amounts to no less than 762,5 millions.
The technical accounting document analyzed, specifically for the three-year period 2013/2016, the first reception, i.e. the services provided to foreigners from disembarkation to accommodation in the CAS and subsequently in the Cara. High costs emerged in the face of poor services, absence of adequate fiscal controls, long times for identification and asylum applications, lacking territorial governance by the Interior Ministry in the collection centers.

Verona, Fortezza Europa protesta fuori dal Liceo Montanari contro l'inculturazione immigrazionista
by

Reporting of A.F.
The youth nucleus of the cultural association Fortezza Europa, to which our National Manager Matteo Castagna also belongs, demonstrated in front of the school, involved in an awareness project on the topic of migration, which we could also define as “immigrationist inculturation”. And the PD asks: “Which side is the mayor on??”
The article is obviously biased (but there is also a mini-newspaper online in Verona “sinistra-friendly”…):
http://www.veronasera.it/attualita/migrazione-montanari-fortezza-europa-pd-17-maggio-2018.html
Fortress Europe, in close proximity, replica:

“Reading the latest statements released to the press by the Verona PD in relation to the protest staged by our movement during the morning of 17/05, we find it laughable that this Political Party talks about "numerical paucity", especially after the repeated electoral defeats suffered in recent years, which led the aforementioned "team" to historic lows in terms of approval. This, but, it is trivial matter for those who have long since turned their backs on the interests of their former electorate.
One also wonders how many students the PD would be able to mobilize per hour 7 of any Thursday morning. Probably a number that is very close to that collected by a small, colorful and poorly organized group that, in opposition to the demonstration of the children of Fortezza Europa, manifested, confused in ideas and principles, for the protection of identities, or for the same theme that he took further 30 students to raise their voices against the tragic outcomes born from the union between the Piddina-branded Buona Scuola and the world of finance. It is difficult to make even a numerical estimate, since in addition 15 years of opposition there are no memories of Piddine demonstrations in the city.

Now the numbers certify it: migrants are just a cost
by

The numbers from the latest Itinerari Previdenziale report, created by the Alberto Brambilla study center: the healthcare costs for migrants weigh heavily
Of Claudio Cartaldo
The numbers speak clearly: i migrants I'm not a profit. Or at least they aren't the way they've always told us.
The fairy tale “they will pay our pensions“, however formally correct, in fact, it does not take into account other factors. Like medical expenses for immigrants (even irregular ones).
Let's go in order. According to the latest report from Social security itineraries, created by the Alberto Brambilla study center, it is true that the balance between contributions paid and pensions paid to migrants is positive. But we shouldn't stop there. “If you try to make an overall balance between income and expenses of the 2015 and the relative amounts for non-EU and new EU immigrants are added – we read in the report, as reported Libero – we get an estimate for contribution income which would amount to approx 9,5 billions of euros, of which the share is borne by workers is approx 2,6 billion. Tax revenues relating to salaries between 10 thousand and 12 thousand euros slightly exceed the Irpef exemption threshold, the estimated expenditure for pensions and income support benefits would be approximately 1,9 billions of euros, with a positive balance for the year of approximately 700 million euros”.
