Pope Francis on Sunday made an impassioned defence of migrants, calling their exclusion 'scandalous, disgusting and sinful,' putting him on a collision course with Italy's upcoming right-wing government.

Francis, who has made support of migrants a major theme of his pontificate, presided over the ceremony before 50,000 people in St. Peter's Square."The exclusion of migrants is scandalous. Indeed, the exclusion of migrants is criminal. It makes them die in front of us," he said. Giorgia Meloni is expected to become prime minister later this month at the head of a right-wing coalition that has vowed to crack down on immigration and tighten Italy's borders.
