Arrivederci, Italia.
Unless, of course, the March 4th elections bring about much-needed sanity and change.
The mass migration into Italy will have a decided effect on the outcome of the elections. It appears Matteo Salvini of the heavily eurosceptic Lega, along with Mr Berlusconi’s Forza Italia (FI) party, will receive enough votes to govern without the need for a second ballot.
The two parties are the major players in the centre-right coalition, which looks likely to win to victory on March 4.
The FI and Lega have agreed if their alliance wins the election, whichever party receives a bigger share of the vote will pick the prime minister and steer the policy agenda.
Recent polls show a steady increase in support for Lega and Mr Salvini, whose policies include much stricter controls on immigration and tax reform.
He has also talked about his aversion towards a federal Europe and discussed ditching the euro, which he has branded a “German currency”. (The Express)
Number of Illegal Migrants Crossing Sea to Italy DOUBLES in One Month
By Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, 14 Feb 2018:
The EU Border Agency (Frontex) says the number of illegal migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Italy has doubled in the space of a month.
“The number of migrants arriving in Italy via the Central Mediterranean route in January rose to more than 4,800, double the figure from the previous month, when smuggling activities were affected by fighting near the departure areas and poor weather,” the agency reported.
“According to preliminary data, Eritreans were the largest group of migrants detected on this route, followed by nationals of Pakistan and Tunisia,” it added.
The Italian interior ministry has objected that the number of illegal migrants is down overall but appeared to concur on the last point, with ANSA reporting the number of Eritrean arrivals at 1,312, followed by Tunisians at 763, Pakistanis at 279, and Nigerians at 252.
Mass migration has precipitated a rapid and unprecedented shift in Italy’s demographics in recent years, with a 2017 report noting the number of resident foreigners has exploded by 270 per cent since 2002.
Locals appear to be unhappy with the change, with the younger generation particularly ill at ease with the new Italy. A remarkable 65 per cent of under-35s said they had a negative view of immigration in a recent survey, and polling shows the Italian public’s faith in the supranational European Union, which does much to encourage open borders, is collapsing.
After becoming the new front line for the migrant crisis, Italy stopped short of adopting the tough love policy on boat migrants of Australia, which brought seaborne people-smuggling (and drownings) to an end by insisting that illegal migrants would all be turned around or processed offshore and housed in safe countries nearer to home if found to be legitimate refugees.
It did manage to achieve a drop in arrivals by making deals with the Libyan coast guard to stop smuggler boats in Libyan waters, and by disrupting the activities of so-called ‘rescue’ ships helping transport migrants — but this strategy appears to be failing as the various militias and political factions in Libya wax and wane.
Consequently, Italy’s Europhile establishment look set to suffer huge losses to Eurosceptic populists in next month’s elections, with voters startled by a number of appaling migrant crimes turning to The League leader Matteo Salvini, who has pledged hundreds of thousands of deportations.

Where’s a torpedo when you need one.
Vlad Tepes features a very interesting item on that very topic:
Islam is as dangerous in a man as rabies in a dog.
Italy can stop it by warning all boats will be sunk and start doing it and deport the ones who are already in Italy. or enjoy the crime and cost of taking these savages.
Left/Liberals feminists can celebrate this wonderful cultural diversity now at local muslim run restaurants https://tinyurl.com/yc87nbvr
Why do Muslims not speak out against slavery?
It would be apostasy, as slavery is favourably mentioned in the qur’an. It is also quite profitable and sexually gratifying to criminally insane muslims as well.
Tell someone who cares. italians can do something about this, but they chose to submit to islam, the european union and total stupidity. Shut up and get back to work, that welfare you give to entice muslims to invade is not going to earn itself.
As the reporting suggests, next months elections are going to put a 32lb shot right through the hull of the good ship “EU Commission”.
Italy is allowing itself to be destroyed., Lock them up and send them back. They have no right to illegally disembark.
The queen of the demoncraps & all her friends have really fucked the world up. Why isn’t she hanging right now ?
Burn All the Liars Now! Just like they did when the world was flat.
Where is Italy’s Navy? Why aren’t they seizing these ships?
Because their government would arrest those sailors while cheering on those refugees. 🙁
Where is their wall?
Their cal.iph, the PO.PE, is welcoming them with open arms from Ro.me. Migration ji.had is a part of their faith.
Drop them inside the Vatican.
Time to start sinking the boats or see your culture and history disappear. An invasion is an act of war…by any definition ot he word.
This is what thew democrats want here in America to further wipe our national identity out.
I am telling you NOT to accept these TURD world immigrants. You are bringing RUIN to your country. But first the bankruptcies, then the martial law and strongman will come.
The TURD world immigrants will be the GREASE they need.
sharia law you mean it’s happening here in oz. exp with arabic banks.
Thank GOD that this is not America’s fate…at least not quite yet. Italia is being ruined more and more with every passing day.
Yep – we’re separated by a bigger pond.
Yeah, imagine if we switched places for one day. 🙁
I’m sure someone will start a charter cruise that will use these boats as target practice for the passengers.
Smuggling, sneaking into the country, by boat over open waters? How? How difficult is it NOT to see? Send them back, they come ILLEGALLY, what good intentions do they have for Italy or Italians?
Europe is too stupid to stop the influx of illegals coming into the continent. The EU was the biggest mistake of all. It created a monster!
It’s not just stupidity. It’s complacency. Under socialist systems the individual relies increasingly on the government. An individual European doesn’t take much personal responsibility. Infecting Europe with the Islamic virus is meant to break down social cohesion and any sense of nationalism. As the situation spirals out of control, countries like Sweden will look to the European Union to fix their “migrant problem”. Good Luck!
Mark my words. Italy will be the first to fall. they are the closet by sea to sharia land and the population growth in Italy is -0.2% annual change (2016). They will invade the Vatican first
italians will be black by skin and moslem by religion and vatican will be new mosque. no italian language but bastard african /arabic and mixed with italo lingo. actually i think this will be case with all europe all europe bastardised languages and 99% moslem
