Italy’s hard-line interior minister tours make-shift migrant camp
Italy's hard-line, anti-migrant interior minister has toured a crime-laden migrant camp in the southern Calabria region and vowed to enforce only "limited, controlled and qualified" immigration.
Matteo Salvini challenged those who want to open Italy's ports to migrants to visit the San Ferdinando camp in the Reggio Calabria province, where he heard of shameless farmers exploiting migrant workers and women being forced into prostitution to get by.
Walking through the camp escorted by police, Salvini commented on the unsanitary conditions and the lack of water services and sewers, among other things.
Salvini has launched a crackdown on migration, closing Italy's ports to aid groups that rescue migrants and vowing to renegotiate the terms of European missions in the Mediterranean to prevent migrants from disembarking in Italy.
