Italy’s far-right prime minister has said she will not allow the country to become “Europe’s refugee camp”, after thousands of people seeking refuge landed on its shores, prompting France to tighten controls at its border with Italy.
Giorgia Meloni told the UN general assembly in New York that the huge numbers arriving in Lampedusa, a tiny Sicilian island that for years has been the first port of call for people crossing a perilous stretch of the Mediterranean Sea from north Africa, had placed Italy “under incredible pressure”.
Far as I know she’s politically descended from Mussolini, not biologically. FdI and Meloni are fascists
She’s being confused with Alessandra Mussolini, who is Mussolini’s granddaughter and a serving member of the European Parliament.
Oh, that clarifies things, thanks!
