Italy: See why the Italians are so ticked-off,
by Ann Corcoran, 10/25/18.
France has sent back to Italy more than 45,000 migrants since January, according to the French interior ministry.
Invasion of Europe news…..France has admitted that it ‘mistakenly’ dropped a couple
of African migrants (supposedly minors) off into Italy. See earlier story.
Since
it is directly on the Mediterranean, Italy gets the brunt of the migrant
invasion while France plays the phony welcoming holier-than-thou nation (along
with Germany) in
the EU.
The
row between France and Italy continued yesterday in the wake of the latest
border incident.
From The Express:
Matteo Salvini accuses France of forcing unaccompanied child migrants back to
Italy
ITALY’S far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has accused France
of pushing two unaccompanied child migrants back into Italy, further straining
relations with Paris.
Mr.
Salvini, the head of Italy’s ultra-conservative League party, said on Twitter:
“France tried to send child migrants back to Italy: this happened on October
18, at 10.30pm, but we managed to block the procedure.”
Tensions
between Rome and Paris have reached boiling point in recent months, with
Italy’s populist government accusing France and other member states of failing
to share the burden of the hundreds of thousands of migrants who have reached
Italy by boat since 2013.
While French President Emmanuel Macron has denounced Italy’s
anti-immigrant policies, positioning himself as the “main opponent” to Europe’s
nationalists, Mr. Salvini has accused him of encouraging illegal immigration
and of turning a blind eye to Europe’s migration crisis.
The
head of the Hautes-Alpes region admitted that its police had crossed the
border, calling the incursion an honest mistake.
Mr.
Salvini, for his part, said on Saturday that extra police officers had been
deployed to “control and guard” the shared border. And, no wonder that Italy is
turning back the migrant transport ships!
Thousands of migrants are caught each year trying to enter France and
returned to the Italian border. And,
you wonder why Italy has budget problems?
