Professor Alexandre Del Valle, said in an interview with French news organisation Damoclès, that the radical left, "often financed by American billionaires, and most of those organizations are German, Dutch, a few French", wants to destroy the nation state and the West.

Frontex and Italian justice are worried about the role of NGOs in the migration crisis. Is it a well-founded worry?
Well, this worry is very, very well-founded. I was in Italy a couple of days ago, in Rome, and I often go to Milan for my work, and I am stunned by the way France, Spain, the EU, the European countries are treating this subject in a rather egoistic way without taking into consideration the worry, first of Greeks, who not long ago were the one who were enduring most of the flow, and today of Italians; and the Italians, just to give you the state, the situation, feel totally flooded.
You cannot even imagine what is going on in Italy today. The south of Italy, in particular Sicily, not only Lampedusa, but also Messina and even Palermo, are the cities which are no longer recognizable; I used to know Sicily well, since I’m originally from Sicily. I knew Sicily well thirty years ago. Twenty years ago, ten years ago, every year you really can see an absolutely impressive evolution, and you are even under the impression that you are witnessing the actual social-demographic evolution of the country. I think that in a couple of years Sicily will no longer resemble what it once was. The Italians are convinced that they are witnessing a phenomenon of invasion. These are not my words. I know that this word has connotations, and it’s not the word I’m using, but you have to hear what people are saying. And they say, of course, that those are populist subjects; but what struck me in Italy, even outside of populist political parties, in particular the center-right former PM Berlusconi, the movement Forza Italia and not the old AN [National Alliance], but I’m really talking about Forza Italia, because it’s really the center-right, today they hold discussions which seemed shocking to me, even I personally was surprised by the radicality of the discourse by the party which is the equivalent of my party in France, which was the Republican Party and the UMP. I could never possibly have witnessed debates of a similar style in the equivalent French party. Well, why am I telling you this?
Inside of the classical Right — I would call it ‘respectable’ non-extremist —
we have today an ‘enough is enough’, which manifests as a surge of radical, extremist, conspiracist visions. The Italians feel so much abandoned by the rest of Europe, by Brussels, they feel so much — justifiably or not — victims of a true
plan of demographic flooding, that today they are radicalizing. And even the Five Star Movement — which is well-known, it was [founded by] the former comedian Beppe Grillo — so even the Five Star Movement is radicalizing.
Inside it there is a leftist trend and there is a slightly conspiracist trend as well,
almost extreme right-wing. There is a radicalization of the entire political spectrum of Italian society around those questions, and the radical Left is radicalizing in the opposite direction, saying that the more people are worried by immigration, more of the movement which is called in Italy ‘radical chic’, which means the bourgeois Left, immigrationist, but by libertarians, as well as the much more Marxist revolutionary Left; they add to it. So they say everybody has to be accepted, without control, with no limits — “the borders are the instrument of torture” as the mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando, said recently — all while his people feel flooded… You notice a total disconnect between the ruling political elites and the people, who feel flooded.
Therefore I predict for Italy a surge of Euro-scepticism, of the radical Right, of populism and of radicalism in general. It’s a country that knew violence, and I think that the society has never been this divided since the Years of Lead [time of political extremism]. There will be a movement, perhaps even soon, a violent one, against the people with an illegal migration background, who become increasingly violent themselves; cases of delinquency are growing exponentially in whole of Italy from south to north; I even visited in the north-east recently, where there are the most… the largest proportion of illegal immigrants — I do say ‘illegals’, meaning they’re coming from the rescues by the NGOs in a illegal way; people they pick up at the Libyan coast.
You know that there’s a real nebula/swarm of NGOs financed by, especially, by George Soros, not exclusively, but mostly, supported as well by Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, many organizations like that, but often financed by American billionaires, and most of those organizations are German, Dutch, a few French, and they are treating Italy as a kind of laboratory for their project of migratory flooding in the the leftist ideological context, which says that it is necessary to replace the populations, that Europe is evil, the West is evil, Christian civilization is horrible; uncontrolled immigration, which we [NGOs] will make increasingly uncontrollable, by trying to make the law EVOLVE —that’s the plan of Mr. George Soros! — it’s to finance plenty of organizations, whose goal is to create pressure, exert pressure in order to, so that it increasingly would be almost impossible to control the migratory flow. There’s a real ideological plan which is coherent, when one belongs to the radical Left, meaning: a plan for the destruction, the destabilization of the West and of the nation state.
By the way, the nation state is presented by all those NGOs — I’m right now writing a report about it — they are presented as… the nation states are presented as the absolute evil. Like, what it is necessary to fight against; legality is considered illegitimate; here again we find the rhetoric of civil disobedience. So they recognize that the ‘legality’ is the borders, is the fact that an immigrant doesn’t have all the rights, but they say this ‘legality’ needs to be abolished — which is the foundation of nation state — it is an obstacle to, an attack on our [NGOs’] postulate, which is a total opening of the borders and limitless immigration, especially in the direction of the European countries, which have to be flooded. They are not proposing that all those masses, primarily Muslim, emigrate in the direction of Qatar of Saudi Arabia. They aren’t crazy. They want, essentially… — because there is a real plan For the destruction of Christian European civilization. The ideal situation would be that Europe would not only be multicultural but that its Christian European character be destroyed.
So today we know that a number of organizations openly admit that they’re fighting against legality, against the very foundations of the nation state, with the subversive goal — in the etymological sense of the word — which would mean turning the nation states against themselves and destroying their identity.
