Dispute with Italy – How NGOs conduct politics with German tax money

Date:

It seems strange: the German government supports non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with millions of euros of taxpayers’ money for sea rescues in the Mediterranean and discourages Italy as the largest first recipient country. Upside-down world: Berlin blocks a common, more restrictive migration policy, even though this should be in Germany’s interest. There are rumors in the Bundestag and there will be a showdown in Brussels on Thursday.

The migration problem continues to cause serious tensions between Italy and Germany. The deputy head of the right-wing ruling Lega party, Andrea Crippa, added fuel to the fire on Tuesday. He complained that the German government was financing rescue operations in the Mediterranean by dedicated NGOs to “destabilize” Italy. Including war rhetoric from dark times. However, the focus is on the public financing of sea rescue workers, which are funded by NGOs. The funds are enormous and raise the question of whether Germany is pursuing extraterritorial politics through these organizations.
