The leader of the
anti-immigrant, anti-euro Northern League party said the
European Parliament "blew smoke up Italy's a**" Thursday when it
approved the relocation of 120,000 asylum seekers who are
presently in Greece, Hungary, and Italy.
"Today the EP blew smoke up Italians' a** for the umpteenth
time when it voted...to allow us to relocate 15,000 of those set
to disembark in Italy over the next two years," Salvini said.
He pointed out that if 300,000 asylum seekers reach Italy,
this means 285,000 people will be allowed to stay.
The EP earlier in the day approved the European
Commission's plan to "urgently" relocate the 120,000 refugees to
other EU member countries.
