Salvini and Orban ready anti-migrant fight ahead of EU elections
 [JOURNALDUCAMEROUN] Hungarian nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Italia’s hardline Interior Minister Matteo Salvini launched Tuesday an anti-migration manifesto aiming at next year’s European parliament elections, and countering their opposing camp led by the French president."There are currently two camps in Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and one is headed by (Emmanuel) Macron," Orban said at a presser after holding talks with Salvini in Milan. "He is at the head of the political forces supporting immigration. On the other hand, we want to stop illegal immigration." EU countries are expected to go to the polls in May, and Salvini has aligned himself with the right-wing "Visegrad" countries: the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria and Hungary. Salvini’s meeting with Orban came shortly after Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s more low-key summit with his Czech counterpart Andrej Babis, which also focused on migration. "At the heart of the talks between the two prime ministers was a safer and fairer Europe as a common objective to work towards ... beginning with the key issues for European citizens: the fight against illegal migration, growth and work, and socio-economic stability," a government statement said. ’NO BACKWARDS STEPS’ Salvini has repeatedly shot barbs at the European Union  ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...over immigration, accusing the bloc of having abandoned Italia as it struggles to deal with the hundreds of thousands of His antagonistic stance has drawn support from key figures of Europe’s hard-right including Marine Le Pen and Orban, who confirmed Italian media reports that he called Salvini "my hero and fellow traveller". Salvini, who is also co-deputy prime minister and leader of the nationalist League party, has taken pot shots at "globalists" like billionaire Hungarian philanthropist George Soros ...  either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...‐ one of Orban’s targets ‐ and Macron. The French president has sharply criticised countries who refuse to cooperate on migration saying those who benefit from the EU but "claim national self-interest when it comes to the issue of Tuesday’s meeting in Milan came just days after Italia’s latest standoff with Brussels over immigration, which led to scores of Salvini said he would continue to refuse NGO ships with "They won’t make me take one step backwards," he said. Orban told news hounds that he would not allow "We need a new European Commission that is committed to defence of Europe’s borders," he said. Posted by: Fred 2018-08-29 |
