Will Italy's refugee stance bring down the EU?

Matteo Salvini, leader of the hard-right League party, has been effectively dominating public discourse on the migrant issue since becoming interior minister earlier this month, all but eclipsing Italy's prime minister Giuseppe Conte and the leader of the League's coalition partner, the Five Star Movement's (M5S) Luigi di Maio.

After assuming office, Salvini announced Italy would start blocking humanitarian migrant rescue ships from docking. First he refused to allow safe harbor to the Aquarius ship, run by Medicins Sans Frontieres and SOS Mediterranee, and the 600 people on board who were eventually taken in by Spain. Then he turned away the German-operated ship Lifeline with 234 migrants and refused to allow the Danish freight Alexander Maersk, with 113 rescued peopleto dock for four days.

Via livestream from the Senate floor and his own Facebook page, political rallies and featured interviews on popular talk shows, Salvini has hammered away at his line that rescue boats act as "cruise ships" for migrants, warned migrants that "the party is over" and demanded the rest of Europe, including "arrogant and hypocritical" France, do more.

The time when the Jewropean Jewnion pretended to champion Europeans is long gone. Now these crooks openly side with the third-world rapists, drug dealers and murderers that are wreaking havoc in Europe, and they praise the crooked jew-run NGOs who brought them here.

"Will Italy's refugee stance bring down the EU?" Honestly, I don't know, but I certainly hope so. And so do countless other people.
