Anti-immigrant Northern League
(LN) leader Matteo Salvini slammed a priest who took a group of
migrants to a swimming pool in Pistoia.
"This "Massimo Biancalani, an anti-LN, anti-Fascist and I'd
say anti-Italian priest, is a parish priest at Pistoia, It's not
fake news, it's all true. Have a good swim," Salvini said on
Facebook.
Father Biancalani had posted photos of the young migrants in
the water, saying: "Today it's the swimming pool! They are my
homeland, racists and Fascists my enemies."
The post spawned hundreds of comments, for and against, and
the photos were blocked.
The priest later posted a photo of the migrants' bicycles
with their tyres pierced after the incident.
