From the article: brought in rules which ban NGO vessels from performing more than one rescue at sea at a time This seems like a bit of an over reach. Maybe someone can provide some context that is missing in the article 1. If a commercial vessel (container ship etc) finds a migrant boat in need of rescue and then later finds another also in need of rescue, are they supposed to just leave them? 2. How come Italy can…
"the far-right government led by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni" amusing how no leader is ever referred to as far left.

Because they call those socialist or communist governments. The real question is why they call them far-right and not something else.
I wonder if this party would agree with 'far-right' as a descriptor? Some political movements here in the UK are (sadly) happy to be called far-right and trade on it.

The answer is basically they can because they can.
The ship isn't picking people up and delivering them to Germany, they're picking people up and delivering them to Italy. When the ship is docked in Italy it is at the whim of the Italian authorities.

IIRC they can't have a say on what they do in international waters. They can however have a say on a German ship bringing migrants into an Italian port. It's up to the Italian authorities to accept or deny the German vessel at that point.
Unless Banksy or the German Gov. provides a shuttle transport from Italy to Germany, then that's like me going around the neighborhood rescuing stray dogs and cats and dumping them on a neighbor's yard because he's closer to where I found them. It then becomes less "me rescuing them" and more "me making it someone else's problem".
So they pickup migrants from Libya and transfer them to Italy. They should be simply jailed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Italy's government is far right, it's the most rightward government since WW2

Just trying to ascertain exactly your issue with the term.

I'd been noticing for a while reading Wikipedia's current events that seemingly every week there is at least one case of "boat carrying migrants sinks killing dozens of people". Glancing back, there were 29 reported drowned on the 26th, 5 the 23rd, 14 on the 9th, and 2 on the first. All of these in the Mediterranean. This is ugly.

Or, you know, have some humanity and let them come ashore anyway.
