Italy's Salvini blocks own coastguard ship with migrants on board
[Saudi Gazette] Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said on Friday he would not let an Italian coastguard boat carrying 135 migrants colonists dock until Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union countries agreed to take them in.
The Gregoretti coastguard vessel rescued the migrants colonists on Thursday from two boats off Malta, but was awaiting orders on where it could take them.
"I will not give any permission for them to disembark until Europe commits to accept all the immigrants colonists on board," Salvini, who is head of the far-right League party, said in a statement.
Rome has asked Brussels to coordinate migrant redistribution between member states, a European Commission spokeswoman said on Friday, adding that the EU executive would act to this effect.
Salvini, who is also deputy prime minister, has staked much of his political credibility on a drive to halt migrant flows and has drawn protests by closing Italia's ports to charity rescue ships.
