Msgr Nunzio Galantino, head of
the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), on Monday denounced
politicians peddling anti-migrant ideas solely to win votes. He
told Vatican Radio that "these salesmen" were making comments
which Galantino said were "extraordinarily silly" and designed
only to pander to some voters. He spoke amid controversy over
the arrival of migrants in Italy, as Pope Francis has said that
not welcoming migrants was an act of war and violence, a
position rejected by Northern League leader Matteo Salvini.
