Default ‘We’ll Kick Out 100K Invaders per Year’: Next Would-Be Italian PM

Quote:
January 25, 2018
Matteo Salvini, the popular leader of Italy’s Lega Nord (“Northern League”) party and who is widely tipped as a serious contender to be Italy’s next prime minister after elections in two months’ time, has vowed to kick out at least 100,000 African invaders from Italy every year for his five year term of office.


“There are half a million irregular migrants in Italy. All of them need to be sent home,” Mr Salvini told La Repubblica newspaper.

“In Italy, there are too many illegal immigrants who go around making a mess, I cannot take it anymore,” Salvini told the host of Dimartedì political talk show that aired on La7 news channel. “There are those who use the aircraft to bring immigrants to Italy. I would use them to bring them back home.”

Salvini dismissed suggestions that his party was xenophobic, arguing that he was trying to prevent the rise of racism by tackling the problem of illegal immigrants.

“The only antidote to racism is to control, regulate and limit immigration. There are millions of Italians in economic difficulty. Italians are not racist, but out-of-control immigration brings with it far from positive reactions. We want to prevent that,” he said.

The next Italian elections are due in March this year, and Salvini’s party, the Northern League, is in a formal alliance with former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi’s “Let’s Go Italy” (Forza Italia), the “Brothers of Italy” (Fratelli d’Italia) party under Giorgia Meloni, and the “Us with Italy” (Noi con l’Italia) party under Raffaele Fitto.

The latest opinion poll—carried out on January 24—puts the collation well ahead at 39 percent of the national vote—a near record in Italian politics. The “Five Star Movement” follows with 27.4 percent, and the outgoing government—a center-left alliance—at 26.1 percent.


In a move designed to deflect accusations of “racism,” Salvini has also appointed a legal Nigerian immigrant, Toni Iwobi, as head of his party’s immigration policy department.

Ironically, Iwobi is as fiercely opposed to the flood of Africans pouring into Italy as Salvini is, telling media that there is an “invasion of illegal immigrants” and that it is madness to import “new poor people without being able to guarantee them a future.”
