But the German Interior Minister, the sovereignist Horst Seehofer, was not the friend of Matteo Salvini? Friends or not, rags fly between the two, because, in view of the upcoming Bavarian elections, Seehofer not only has no intention of holding migrants who, after disembarking in Italy, moved to Germany, but think of ship them back with charters to our country. Open up heaven.
"If someone, in Berlin or Brussels, thinks of unloading dozens of immigrants in Italy with unauthorized charter flights, know that there is and will not be any airport available - said Salvini - We close the airports as we closed the ports ”.
However, the ultimatum of the Italian deputy prime minister seems more like an unloaded gun every day, because in reality charter trips loaded with migrants from Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt to Italy – justified by Dublin Accords, which require migrants to remain in the EU country where they are identified – they've been going on for a while, at the rate of two per month. The next arrival from Germany to Rome is scheduled for Thursday 11 October. Then there will be another one at the end of the month. So far, however, in 2018 there have been repatriations of this type on average 25 per month. We are therefore talking about a purely electoral issue, which affects Seehofer in view of the German administrations in Bavaria and Salvini in view of the European elections in May.
From Berlin, in any case, they are trying to tone it down: "No repatriation flights to Italy are planned in the next few days," the German Interior Ministry spokesman told Ansa, commenting on Salvini's words.
