The Interior Minister's interview with RTL, where he admits that for now the only agreement that works is the one with Tunisia. But it's not enough
“We are working to do what hasn't been done in twenty years: expulsion and assisted repatriation agreements with all countries of origin of these boys and girls”. And I'm Senegal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Eritrea, Mali, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Sudan, Niger. By autumn “I will be able to say how many and what type I made”. Matteo Salvini announced this in an interview with 'L'Indignato speciali’ are Rtl 102,5.

A folder “which I have had on my desk for three months, We've been opening drawers for three months, archives, verbal agreements with some African countries 1999, but then the signature got lost, the specifications, It is not known what happened to them”. For the Minister of the Interior, currently what works “decently” it is the agreement with Tunisia, “we organize two charters a week for around eighty expulsions. If we expel Tunisians every week, Nigerians and a hundred others, it takes us eighty years to recover the five, be, 700 thousand immigrants who have entered in recent years.

And so this is a dossier I'm working on, on some countries – says the Northern League leader again – we are already quite far ahead,. In Tunisia I will go there in September because more than four thousand Tunisians arrived this year and it is the most present nationality. There is no war in Tunisia, there is no famine, there is no bubonic plague and therefore it is not clear why these kids have to escape”.

Of agreements “we are preparing some with Nigeria, Bangladesh, with the Ivory Coast”. Ma – added Salvini – “the immigration front is part of my job: the anti-mafia, the anti-Camorra, anti-drug, l'antibullismo, the protection of children who go to school, blocking online scams, the threats, feminicides… I'm faced with it, for example the hiring of firefighters and police which had been at a standstill for too long, so I have no time to be bored or to read the judges' papers, that they are from Genoa, of Agrigento, from Palermo or Pordenone or who knows where. I still sleep on it at night”.
