It means that the same goods and services can cost a lot less in some countries due to various factors.

That "charity ship” claim is a fabrication by right-wing media that has no basis in truth and has been even thrown out of court in Italy. Please stop perpetuating such lies.

What is actually happening is that they are paying Libyanese mafia militia for illegal push back operations and they don't want witnesses for that.

This is one of these "maybe true in theory" but counter productive arguments.

Irregular migration has been on the rise for many years and the ratio of success is high enough that people risk it regardless of whether or not there are planes looking for ships in distress.

But there is another reason why the Italian government doesn't want these planes flying: they are unwelcome witnesses to illegal pushback operations that the Italians and Maltese (and Frontex) are doing in cooperation with Libyanese Mafia militia.

Partially, but it is also that due to wage and PPP differences a single person with a mediocre job in the EU can support an entire extended family back in their home country. Changing that is not so easy, especially when it largely comes down to PPP and lifestyle differences.

IMHO as much as I agree that it would be great for people to not feel a lot of pressure to leave their home countries to look for a better life, maybe the more realistic option is to try and find a way to make this migration more beneficial for both sides (which it already largely is, but we could do better).

In this case: you reap what you sow. She has been peddeling right-wing BS a lot to fish for voters.

Don't take it personal, but you don't have a history of posting in Europe related communities and your home instance is from Malaysia (which is a fine country but definitely not in Europe).

As someone who has repeatatly asked for moderation rights on the Europe community on lemmy.ml due to blatant misinformation posted there all the time (by someone closely affiliated with the Lemmy devs, so I gave up on that community), I guess I'll have to step up here. But it would be nice to have a team of moderators 😊
