(ANSA) Mineo (Catania) March 16 - Northern League leader
Matteo Salvini called on Premier Matteo Renzi and Interior
Minister Angelino Alfano to resign Monday over a migrants'
reception centre that "discriminates against Italians".
"Renzi and Alfano should resign," over the Cara reception
centre for asylum seekers at Mineo in the Sicilian province of
Catania, Salvini told reporters.
The centre has been placed under investigation by
prosecutors amid charges of widespread overspending.
"The Cara at Mineo was created to deal with an emergency
situation but now we are in year four and this structure can
only contain 4,000 people and discriminate Italians" Salvini
claimed after visiting the centre.
"There are people getting pre-paid phone cards, playing
football, listening to music or having school lessons".
"There are 160-square-metre homes where an average of 7-8
people live - they were homes for the American military - these
are solutions that many Italians would like to have".
Salvini underlined that "the premier must reply
personally about this shame".
