Roma, Aug. 13 (LaPresse) – “There will be no going back on the suspension of Schengen for as long as necessary to defend Italy’s borders. Border protection is an absolute and non-negotiable priority in the face of Spain’s reckless pro-immigration policy, with more than 500,000 regularization applications.” This is stated in a League statement. “The left’s amnesties are a dangerous and harmful pull factor for the new illegal immigration circulating in Europe, with the risk of infiltration by Islamist terrorism – the statement adds -. Meanwhile, the 55% decrease in arrivals by sea and the increase in repatriations to 5,300 to date are the result of the security decrees wanted by the League and Matteo Salvini and of the new agreements with countries of departure and transit.” “It is now necessary to insist on repatriation hubs in third countries outside the EU and on national measures: reducing family reunifications, stopping and repatriating unaccompanied foreign minors, defining special protection permits more precisely and revoking citizenship for those who commit serious crimes. The League will make no concessions on these issues and calls for courage and consistency from the majority,” the statement concludes.
