Italy: Salvini and Orban meet, call for creation of
a pan-European anti-migrant alliance, by Ann Corcoran, 8/29/18.
Italy’s
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini and Hungary’s Viktor Orban met yesterday in
Milan to discuss a historic alliance to save Europe from further invasion.
Keep
an eye on Europe! Is it just in time or too late? “We are near a historic change on a continental
level!” (Matteo
Salvini).
From Deutsche Welle:
Viktor Orban and Matteo Salvini strive to forge new European anti-migrant
alliance
Hungarian
Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini made
no secret of their mutual admiration ahead of their meeting in Milan on
Tuesday.
United in their anti-immigration policies and
relentless bashing of the EU, the two right-wing lawmakers called for the
creation of a pan-European anti-migrant alliance that would seek to prevent
migration to Europe from besieged regions in Africa and the Middle East.
Salvini,
who heads the far-right League party, the junior partner in Italy’s populist
coalition, told reporters that Italy and Hungary would strive to forge a future union “that excludes
socialists and the left, that brings back to the center the values and
identity” that their parties represent.
“We
are near a historic change on a continental level,” Salvini added.
Orban,
meanwhile, called on the European People’s Party, the largest group in the
European Parliament to which his Fidesz party belongs, to adopt a hardline
stand against illegal immigration.
Salvini’s
League party has since 2014 allied itself in the European Parliament with the
likes of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and Freedom Party of Austria.
What Hungary does on land, Italy does by sea. Orban described Salvini
as his “hero and companion” for turning away migrant rescue ships, claiming
that such actions were crucial for Europe’s security.
“Hungary
has proven that migrants can be stopped on land,” said Orban. “And this is
where Salvini’s mission starts: “(Italy) must show that migrants can also be stopped
at sea.”
