Italy’s Salvini calls France an “international
disgrace” over border incident, by Ann Corcoran, 10/19/18.
Invasion of Europe news….Italian
Interior Minister says that last Friday French police drove across the Italian
border and deposited two (believed to be African) migrants in a rural forested
area.
The
headline at the UK Express blares: France is an ’international
DISGRACE!’ Salvini furious over migrant dumping incident
ITALY’S right-wing Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
branded France an “international disgrace” on Tuesday for having driven two
migrants across its border and dumping them in Italy.
French President Macron (left) and
Italian Interior Minister Salvini are locked in an ideological battle for the
future of Europe.
Mr
Salvini rejected Paris’ apology for what it described as an honest “mistake,”
prompting the French presidency to accuse him of deliberately “politicizing”
Friday’s incident.
An
Elysée Palace spokesperson said: “We must put things into perspective. It was a
mistake – the local prefecture admitted it had made a mistake.”
Italy asked France for “clarifications” after witnesses reported seeing
a French police van cross the mountain border at Claviere, near the Italian ski
resort of Sestriere, and officers making two men get out in a wooded area
before driving back the short distance to France. The men are suspected of being migrants
of African origin.
Sestriere: Even if they hadn’t crossed the
border why would they be dropping off two Africans in a rural area like this?
A
French official said the police officers behind the incident were new to the
area, adding that their decision to cross the border into Italy without seeking
prior permission had been an “error”.
Mr Salvini dismissed the French explanation, saying that “abandoning
immigrants in an Italian forest cannot be considered a mistake or an incident”.
Mr
Salvini said in a Facebook post: “What happened in Claviere represents an
unprecedented offence against our country.
“We are facing an international disgrace, and [French President
Emmanuel] Macron cannot pretend nothing has happened.
“I
wonder if international organizations, starting with the United Nations and the
European Union, do not find it vomit-making to leave people in an isolated
area, without any assistance.” Who are they and where are they?
He
added: “Paris must inform us IMMEDIATELY of the identities of the immigrants
left in the woods. Names, surnames, nationalities, dates of birth.”
