Salvini to France: Italy Will No Longer Accept All Migrants Arriving in Europe

Italian populist interior minister Matter Salvini has declared his country will no longer take in all migrants arriving in Europe in a letter to French interior minister Christophe Castaner.

“France and Germany can not decide on migration policies by ignoring the demands of the most exposed countries like us and Malta,” he added.
