"Shuttle service to Italy" - German Government interior expert Stephan Mayer criticizes NGOs.

11 June 2017

Stephan Mayer, Bundestag CDU/CSU spokesman for interior affairs sharply criticized the help of NGOs. In his opinion the traffickers are deliberately sending migrants in unseaworthy boats "since they can safely assume that they will be picked up by the rescue boats crossing only a few hundred meters or a few kilometers".

"This is de facto a shuttle service to Italian mainland and the Italian islands". "In my opinion, this approach is not practical in the long term." says Mayer in an interview with the German State TV "ZDF".
