Giorgia Meloni slams Sea Watch over comment on North African, Italian coast guards
Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has criticised German NGO, Sea Watch for reportedly describing North African, and Italian coast guards as the real human traffickers.
PM Meloni @GiorgiaMeloni, according to a post by Migrant Rescue Watch made the comment during a speech in Senat. Meloni slammed the German NGO #SeaWatch for trivializing the role played by human traffickers and attempting to delegitimize the coast guards of North African States.
Her words: “I consider it shameful that the NGO #SeaWatch defines the coast guards of North African States, and perhaps even the Italian one, as ‘the real human traffickers’, wanting to delegitimize them, in order to give a green light to the traffickers that this NGO instead describes as innocent, who have found themselves by chance driving boats full of illegal immigrants.
” These are shameful statements, which throw away the mask on the role played by some NGOs and on the responsibilities of those who finance them.”
