Salvini clashes with Macron after Paris and Berlin offer new migrant influx mechanism
By Cristina Abellan Matamoros with REUTERS• last updated: 23/07/2019 - 10:28
Fourteen members of the European Union have agreed on a new “solidarity mechanism” plan to resettle rescued migrants, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday.
(...)
The French president said the EU needed to make sure that when migrants get to Europe, there needs to be a better strategy for their arrival including a quick docking in the nearest port, but he clarified that landing countries must not make all the effort alone.
However, this has revived an old clash with Italy. Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, whose country is at the forefront of the migrant influx into Europe, said he was against France and Germany deciding all the migration policies, “ignoring the demands of the most exposed countries”.
Italy received almost all of the migrants rescued by humanitarian groups at sea until the populist government closed all the country's ports to charity ships.
After the meeting, Salvini reiterated that Italy should not continue to be the "refugee camp of Brussels, Paris, and Berlin."
