“The Spanish prime minister would do better to keep quiet and control his borders instead of threatening the Italian government, given that we are also blocking dozens of irregular migrants arriving from Spain at the airports even now,” Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini denies Pedro Sanchez. Speaking to reporters in via Bellerio before attending the Lombard League board meeting, the Carroccio leader thus intervened on the ultimatum launched by Spain to the Italian government for the opening of the borders within 48 hours. A request to which Italy responded harshly, explaining that there will be no revocation of any controls at least until August 15.

Salvini then also answered questions about his possible return to the Ministry of the Interior. While not backing down, however, he specified that at the moment, as Minister of Transport, his priorities are different: “Will I announce my move to the Ministry of the Interior at Pontida? No, that’s what the newspapers write. With 250 billion euros of open construction sites and many things to do, from Lombardy to Sicily, my days are full. Then my goal is to win the elections next year with the center-right and with a League above 10%. And if they ask me, I have been at the Ministry of the Interior, I know how it works and I will gladly go back.”

The Minister for European Affairs, Tommaso Foti, also spoke about the borders and Schengen, revealing: “Confirming the effectiveness of the measures adopted, after the tightening decided by the Government on connections with Spain, 15 non-EU citizens without the necessary requirements to enter Italy have been stopped and turned away at Italian airports.” For the Meloni government, the minister emphasized, “the protection of national security and border control have always been an absolute priority. Given what happened in Ceuta and the high level of alert, also in view of a possible new assault expected for the next August 15, it is necessary to keep attention high and adopt all measures deemed necessary to guarantee the safety of citizens.”
