Italy angry with French for migration

rome - The Italian and French governments have come into full collision about the floundering immigrants. Rome demands apologies from Paris. As long as this does not happen, the diplomatic crisis continues. The Italian Minister of Economic Affairs Giovanni Tria has canceled his trip to Paris to meet his colleague. Prime Minister Conte also plans to cancel his trip to Paris where he would meet French President Macron.

The quarrel began after President Macron criticized the Italian Interior Minister's refusal, Matteo Salvini, to open the Italian ports for the clandestine immigrants of the NGO boat Aquarius. According to Macron, the refusal was 'cynical and irresponsible. 'The spokesperson for his party, En Marche, even said it was' to vomit '.

Incidentally, 937 clandestine immigrants arrived in the Sicilian port city of Catania. They had been helped by the Italian Coast Guard. That was allowed by Minister Salvini. However, he does not want to help the NGO boats because he considers them semi-smugglers.

The Italians are divided over Salvini's immigration policy. But they all agree that France has no right to read Italy. The country closed the border with Italy not to get immigrants across the border. The French police even once handcuffed a pregnant and visibly sick African woman out of the train and transferred the Italian border where she later died.

It is also argued in Italy that France, in particular, caused all problems by launching an attack, then supported by the US and Great Britain, on the Libyan leader Gaddafi. It was precisely with him that Italy had important economic ties and political stability. After the attack started by the French President Sarkozy, Libya is still in chaos and Italy is stuck with the flow of immigrants.
