Matteo Salvini, Italy’s far-right deputy prime minister, decried the “bestiality” of the arson suspect, a minor from Morocco, in incendiary Facebook posts.
Italy’s deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini, chairman of the far-right Lega Nord party, called for all the ports in his country and across Europe to be “armored” after police arrested a young North African immigrant in connection with a deadly arson attack.
A suspected arson attack at a police station in Mirandola, in Northern Italy, killed two people living in apartments above and injured more than a dozen others when the fire caused an explosion. Salvini said the arrested suspect is a minor from Morocco. Another of Salvini’s posts said: “Does anyone want to go back to open ports? DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. Illegal immigration must be fought and cleared, no return back.”
In Milan, on Saturday, Salvini hosted a rally of nationalist parties from all over Europe, including Marine Le Pen’s National Rally from France and Joerg Meuthen of the Alternative for Germany. Salvini accused European leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, of “betraying Europe...by constructing a Europe of finance and uncontrolled immigration,” AP reported.
Austria’s Vice Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, leader of the far-right Freedom Party, resigned after a 2017 video emerged showing him offering government contracts to a woman posing as the niece of a Russian oligarch.
