(ANSA) - L'AQUILA, 05 JUL - "Whoever has the permission to enter enters Italy, as far as I'm concerned. Italy cannot be the refugee camp of Europe. Welcoming men and women fleeing the war is a sacrosanct duty , to disembark 20,000 people in a short time, as has been happening in Italy for some time, after Covid it is not fair to them, it is not fair to Italians ". Thus the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, in the afternoon, in the Aquila stage of his tour in Abruzzo to promote the referendum on justice, responding to journalists on the statements of the Head of State, Sergio Matteralla, in relation to the immigrant question.
Salvini met with journalists before holding a speech in the historic center. "Every landing is a gift to the hydrofoils - he added - so I agree with President Mattarella when he says that we must help the African continent, help his children not to escape, but it is not possible for Italy to become an open-air refugee camp".
