INTERVIEW WITH DISTRESS CAPTAIN RACKETE - "We also have to accept climate refugees!"
...
But why did you have to invest in Italy? It seemed like you wanted to provoke Salvini.
Rackete: "No, that simply results from the Law of the Sea! It is absurd for politicians to say that we should have taken the refugees to Libya or Tunisia. That would make us liable to prosecution, there are no asylum procedures there! When we had the first problems with Italy, we asked Malta, France and Spain - there were cancellations everywhere. In the end, I had to react because the situation aboard was dramatic and people could have died. "
...
But in the middle of society there are also many who say: Europe can not take in more refugees! Where is your personal limit to the intake?
Rackete: "Asylum knows no limit! And you have to look at the facts: at the moment we are talking about very small numbers, but the situation is getting more difficult! The collapse of the climate system causes climate refugees, which we naturally have to absorb. In some African countries, caused by industrialized countries in Europe, the food base is being destroyed. The debate should always differentiate between refugees and economic migrants, but we now come to a point where there is forced migration, a migration forced by external circumstances such as climate. And then we have no choice and can not just say that we do not want people. It is also Europe's responsibility. "
...
Why should Germany be responsible for Africa?
Rackete: "Germany and other European states have a historical responsibility to the circumstances in Africa even from the colonial era. Today's power relations have been determined by Europe. Europe is exploiting Africa - and here is the spiral that leads to escape. Therefore, there is a historical responsibility to accept refugees who can no longer live in their countries due to the balance of power or the climate situation. The subject of climate gorge is already great today. We had people from ten different countries on the boat. In Bangladesh, it is particularly bad, but also in the Pacific, where islands swamp, or in the desert of Africa. There's still a lot coming up that nobody wants to talk about today. "

note:
Please note that their answers make little or no sense. She could not drive to Malta, France and Spain because there were cancellations. But she had to go to Italy despite there was a cancellation.
If the regions near the equator are supposed to be uninhabitable people can only come to Europe. According to Rackete there are no other countries outside the regions near the equator.
And according to her statements the population of europe but not for example politicians would have to bear the consequences for the unfair treatment of the people in Africa. The population in Europe which is also exploited by the EU must therefore bear the additional consequences or are even reinterpreted as perpetrators.

Organized crime - BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst/Federal Intelligence Service) warns of Nigerian mafia
The number of Nigerian asylum seekers has increased significantly recently. Mafia organizations could profit from this, the Federal Intelligence Service warns in a confidential analysis.
The department TE of the Federal Intelligence Service deals with terrorism and organized crime. And also for migration, the analysts are responsible, they should investigate "causes and effects", as it is called on the homepage of the secret service.
In a confidential report, which the SPIEGEL has seen, the BND warns that mafia organizations from Nigeria could spread in Germany. The strong influx of Nigerian asylum seekers, who increasingly traveled from Italy to the Federal Republic, will lead to a sprouting of "extremely brutally acting Nigerian structures of organized crime," says the intelligence service citing its own findings and those of other security agencies.

public - Reported working paper: EU Commission is considering new law for platforms
In a working paper that we publish, the EU Commission has published a blueprint for the regulation of providers in the network. A law for digital service providers is to replace the two-decade-old e-commerce directive. It could turn the rules of liability on which the modern Internet is based.
The EU Commission is considering creating its own authority for the regulation of online services. The new authority is part of a possible legislative proposal by the next EU Commission to regulate platforms such as Google and Facebook. The approximately two-decade-old e-commerce directive is to be replaced by a new law on digital services ("Digital Services Act"), according to a confidential working paper of the Commission.
The law aims to harmonize the rules against hatred in the network and disinformation across Europe, and to create consistent rules for online advertising. Common rules should also apply to platforms that provide services. Clearer conditions will make it easier for European startups to spread across Europe and compete with US corporations.

... The credibility of claiming a shortage of skilled employers is inversely proportional to unemployment and the rise in wage levels. In certain fields it can happen that the demand for employees can not cover the supply of jobs. In such a case in a functioning market either the equilibrium price in the form of the wage level would increase. However wages are currently stagnating in much of Europe and the industrialized world. If one is unwilling to pay a reasonable price for a good or service then one can not complain about a shortage at this price. Or employers would resort to training young workers or retraining other workers with a different education. ...
