Interior Minister and Deputy
Premier Matteo Salvini said Monday that there was no problem
with Germany over the issue of flights returning migrants to
Italy.
Berlin said no such flights were planned after Salvini said
Sunday that "we will close our airports like we closed our
ports", referring to his policy of refusing to allow NGO-run
migrant rescue ships to dock in Italy.
"I address problems that exist," Salvini said.
"If Germany say these flights don't exist, the problem does
not exist either".
Berlin said Monday that reports of planned flights from
Bavaria to take back migrants who arrived in Germany after
initially being registered in Italy were "not correct".
