Matteo Salvini, who is regularly referred to as a “populist,” continues to oppose mass migration, and now especially so, during the coronavirus lockdown. Salvini noted the double standard of forcing Italians into lockdown while keeping the doors wide open to Muslim migrants, primarily from North Africa. The flow has been steady:
400 migrants arrived from north Africa to the Italian island of Lampedusa on Sunday followed by another three boats with 200 more migrants that landed Monday
Salvini warned last year about the EU becoming an “Islamic caliphate“.
In August, 11,000 Muslim migrants arrived into Italy in a single week. And “a lot of anger among local mayors” is “aimed at the Italian government.”
“Matteo Salvini: Italians Get Lockdowns, Migrants Get ‘Open Ports”, by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, November 2, 2020:
ROME — The leader of Italy’s Lega party has raged against a double standard whereby Italian citizens are getting “fines and lockdowns” whereas illegal immigrants get “open ports.”
The government of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has raised fines to unprecedented levels for those who break the nation’s mask mandate and other new restrictions on personal freedoms, while migrants continue to stream into the country unimpeded on a daily basis, Mr. Salvini complains.
In a Monday morning Facebook post, Salvini notes some 400 migrants arrived from north Africa to the Italian island of Lampedusa on Sunday followed by another three boats with 200 more migrants that landed Monday.
Apparently, the Prime Minister’s health edicts “do not apply” to migrants, Salvini wrote.
The Lega leader has also voiced his opposition to new lockdown measures, insisting that the remedy would be worse than the disease.
“I hope that a new total closure will not be reached because it would be a real economic, social and emotional disaster,” he wrote on Facebook. “Are there any alternatives? Yes, home care because often the remedy risks being worse than the disease.”
In a strange irony, media revealed last Friday that the Tunisian immigrant Brahim Issaoui who stabbed three people to death in the southern French church of Notre Dame while shouting “Allahu akbar” had arrived on the same island of Lampedusa on September 20 before heading north to France where he carried out his attack…..

………………….
Grimly, Matteo Salvini is not wrong.
somehistory says
Mr. Salvini has honest eyes. He’s concerned with what is right and wrong and he’s fighting against corruption. The PM Italy has now sees money in what he is doing….the illegals don’t have any, or if they do, they spend it on terror…and the citizens have some the crook can take.
This sort of thing is rampant in the world today.

Trump, Salvini, and all other sane leaders should always add more light about hydroxycloroquin. It’s information the sickos don’t want mentioned.
Mason Stewart says
It’s the same in England
john smith says
Europe needs more Salvini’s and less Merkel’s.
Check Burry says
Correction, no merkelmatilds.
Yogi says
Conte have to go very quickly, He is traitor and Merkel lap dog , Salvini for prime minister , He have go back otherwise it’s over for good..

like most other eurabian countries, italy is in her death throes; the economy will soon collapse, and the hard-core left will swoop in to the “rescue.” the resulting 3-way civil war will be interesting, in the same way that a high-speed car crash involving all your family is “interesting.”
may porcine feces and vomit fill profit muhammed’s mouth forever.
b.a. freeman says
sigh … forgot to mention that the 3-way civil war will be among the left, the ummah, and italian patriots.
Rufolino says
It’s puzzling.
Italy has had it comparatively easy, regarding terrorist attacks in cities. Nothing in Rome or Milan can be compared to horrors London or Paris.
You wonder how long this civil peace will last. Because last, it will not.
Rome has huge symbolic importance as the residence of the man Mohammedans refer to as, The Pig.
The conquest of Rome is at the top of Islamic fantasies.

Unless you are being sarcastic, there is not so much irony as there is a natural progression (for any muslim).

So true.

Thats it let the invading army of islam walk right through your open borders. The purpose of borders is to keep the enemy out, and trust me muslim/islamics are the enemy of a freedom loving people.
