Italy’s Salvini: “We Need A Mass Cleansing, Street By Street, Quarter By Quarter” In The EU
from, ZeroHedge:
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini continues to pile the pressure on Brussels and expose his more fascist credentials as he warned today that it will be decided within a year “whether a united Europe still exists or not,” according to Germany’s Der Spiegel.
“Whether the whole thing has no sense any more” will be seen in particular in talks on budget and within context of 2019 European Parliament elections.
On migrants, Salvini confirmed:
“We can’t take even one more, actually we want to hand over a couple,” adding that…
he is aware his stand on migrants could lead to fall of Chancellor Angela Merkel but this isn’t Italy’s intention “even though we’re very distant, not just on the migration issue.”
And finally, in a quite shocking comment during a BBC documentary on the Italian Interior Minister, Salvini says ominously:
“We need a mass cleansing. Street by street, quarter by quarter” in the EU.
Forward to 4:42 in the clip below…
All of which leaves Salvini’s call to NATO and the potential ‘help’ of the US 6th Fleet (as we discuss below) very much in play as Oriental Review’s Andrew Korybko details below, President Trump may rescue Italy from the migrant crisis in order to further divide Europe.
Italy’s populist government that just came to power pledged to make the Migrant Crisis one of its main priorities, so it’s no surprise that it’s poised to take immediate action in delivering tangible results to the voters. Matteo Salvini, the head of the EuroRealist Lega party and Italy’s current Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, said that:
“I am in favor of NATO, but we are under attack. We will ask NATO to defend us. There are many concerns about terrorist infiltrations. Italy is under attack from the south, not from the east.”
His statement importantly reaffirmed his country’s commitment to one of the pillars of Euro-Atlanticism but reinterpreted its purpose from the Establishment’s prevailing anti-Russian one to a more practical use in responding to human trafficking networks.
Proverbially putting his money where his mouth is, he refused to allow a boat full of hundreds of migrants to dock at any of Italy’s ports, writing instead on Facebook that “Malta takes in nobody. France pushes people back at the border, Spain defends its frontier with weapons. From today, Italy will also start to say no to human trafficking, no to the business of illegal immigration.”
His developing anti-migrant plan is therefore two-fold, with the first part dealing with external security in preventing the infiltration of more illegal migrants into Italy while the second one is domestically focused and concerns the fate of those who are already in the country.
It’s the international aspect of this campaign that Italy is seeking NATO’s help with, which is practical because the country is after all a member of the bloc and pays yearly dues to it.
