Germany using migrants like it used army 80 years ago -League official

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 26 - League Deputy Secretary Andrea Crippa said Tuesday that Germany had gone from using its army to attack other countries in World War II to using migrants today.
    The comments were made amid a spat over Berlin's decision to fund NGOs working to rescue migrants at sea and those helping them in Italy.
    Premier Giorgia Meloni wrote to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Monday saying that she was "amazed" that Berlin had made the decision without liaising with the Italian government.
    "They are trying to destabilize the government by funding NGOs to fill us with illegal immigrants and bring down support for the centre right (coalition of government) in Italy," Crippa, told Affaritaliani.it.
    "Eighty years ago the German government decided to invade other States with the army, but that went badly.
    "Now they are funding an invasion of illegal immigrants to destabilize governments that the Social Democrats don't like.
    "It is clear that the German government doesn't want the centre right to govern Italy.
    "They do everything to put the Italian government in difficulty in the hope of bringing it down". (ANSA).
