The Sea Watch 3 has a mainly German crew but sails under Dutch flag.[1] In the Netherlands, main government party VVD stated that NGOs that deliberately without permission pick up people should be convicted for facilitating human trafficking.[2] Spokesman Jeroen van Wijngaarden said that: “They are factually not a rescue service but a ferry service”[3]. Within the Dutch coalition government, they got support from the CDA, and in the Dutch parliament there basically was a majority that supported this. Nevertheless, the two other parties in the coalition government protested strongly against this statement.[4][1]
