The Minister of the Interior, Salvini, rejects the hypothesis of an increase in migratory flows towards Italy: “You arrive in Italy with a permit”
Matteo Salvini sends a clear message about the crisis in Libya. The Minister of the Interior rejects the hypothesis of an increase in migratory flows towards Italy and in fact already sets limits that could protect the country from the arrival of migrants from Libya.
“Nothing changes about migration policies for Italy: You arrive in Italy with a permit, those fleeing the war arrive by plane as they are doing. But the boatmen, inflatable boats or pedal boats in Italy, they do not arrive in Italian ports”, stated the owner of Interni on the sidelines of the Formula E race.
Then the minister once again pointed the finger at the France: “We are working to ensure that things do not get worse in Libya, Let's hope that all Western countries do the same and there isn't someone who, as in the past, plays war for economic reasons, France did it in the past and I hope they aren't doing the same trick again because then they will pay the consequences”. In fact, Salvini suspects that the Elysée may have a hand behind the Libyan crisis and Haftar's advance towards Tripoli.. This suspicion also found space among the Libyans of Tripoli who took to the streets wearing yellow vests against Macron. In fact, just yesterday a group of Libyan demonstrators protested in the capital denouncing Paris' interference in the crisis and support for General Khalifa Haftar's advance. The demonstrators also had with them signs with the writing “Hands off Libya” e “Macron, oil is not worth my blood”.
