The saga of the Sea Watch 3, a German NGO ship flying a Dutch flag, which sailed into Lampedusa (Italy) against the orders of Italian authorities and nearly rammed a police boat in the process, seems to be bringing the entire Mediterranean migrant smuggling issue to the front pages of Europe's newspapers. Both Germany and Netherlands have declined to accept any responsibility for the incident, preferring to bash Italy and insist that the Italians just keep receiving and housing the endless supply of young African and Middle East men determined to reach Europe.
In the below link, Gates of Vienna has collected three video clips showing the reactions of certain quarters in Germany, not the common man on the street mind you, but politicians, news media and one blogger. You will note that the media continues to emulate their American counterparts by taking the politically-correct line. The German president scolds the Italians for not following the dictates of the EU. Meanwhile, two representatives of the Alternatif fuer Deutschland party, which wants to put a stop to this massive wave of migrants into Germany, support the Italian government, principally Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
