May 10, 2021 "We will bring the model of other European countries to Draghi, given that we rightly speak of a pro-European government, such as Greece, France and Malta, 2,148 landings in 24 hours are not compatible with a country that wants to leave again". The leader of the Lega Matteo Salvini said this in a meeting with journalists outside the headquarters of the Lombardy Region in Milan. "In no other country are there the numbers, dimensions and problems we have in Italy. This way we cannot go on," said the leader of the League.



"I do not give promotions or failures - continued Salvini - The numbers say that yesterday, on a Sunday in May, double the number of illegal immigrants who landed in the entire month of May when I was minister. Plus there is Covid. . Surely you can't go on like this. Wanting is power. Friday I'm in Catania in a courtroom to answer for what I did and I'm proud of it ". Salvini also confirmed that he had talked with the Minister of the Interior Luciana Lamorgese: "We messaged with Lamorgese yesterday, but if we expect European solidarity, I think it will end up like vaccines: nothing - he added -. they are not waiting for Europe, but are defending their territories in their own right.President Draghi says that we deserve respect and also on the immigration front we deserve respect. We cannot invite tourists from half the world to an island that sees thousands of landings every day. It's not serious. "




Zaia: "We are not in a position to host the whole world"

"There must not be an ideological but realistic approach to landings, I don't want to answer with a banality but if one does not run away from war and hunger and knows that in Italy he finds the doors open, then he sets up the plan to come to Italy. We are not in the conditions of hosting the whole world ". Thus the president of Veneto Luca Zaia in a press conference answering a question about the landings that took place in Lampedusa in the last 24 hours, specifying that "we need to help those who need a real car, from hunger and genocide, but to limit the entrances". Then he adds: "How does it work in this country? If you say the things I'm saying you're a racist - he adds - if you say 'full speed ahead' you are someone who has understood everything in the world. ideological,there are the aperturists and the fundamentalists. Will there also be a position of common sense - he asks himself - between the two? ".
