Italy’s election hopeful Salvini wants to deport 500,000 migrants
Leader of Italy’s Lega Party, Matteo Salvini, said he wants to deport half a million migrants within five years.
Italy accepted hundreds of thousands of migrants in the last three years and is facing a backlash after several migrant crimes rocked the country.
Earlier this month an Italian girl was murdered and dismembered by a Nigerian asylum seeker. Afterwards a man shot several African migrants in a racist attack and Italians started protesting.
Salvini said Italians are not racists, but immigration needs to be controlled: “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.”
According to recent polls Italy’s centre-right coalition between Salvini’s Lega Party and Berlusconi’s Forza Italia is on course to win the elections on March the 4th.
