We guarantee Brenner security says Alfano
Minister says Austrian elections will end sooner or later
19 July, 16:19
(ANSA) - Bolzano - Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said
during a visit to the northern province of Bolzano Wednesday
that Italy was providing ample security at its border with
Austria at the Brenner Pass.
"As Bolzano Province President Arno Kompatscher correctly
reiterated, things work well at the Brenner and we will continue
to guarantee maximum security, as has been the case over the
years and over the last few days," Alfano said.
Austria's interior minister was quoted as saying by Bild on
Tuesday that Vienna was ready to close the Brenner Pass within
24 hours if too many migrants arrive.
Alfano suggested this tough talk was linked to elections in Austria in October.
"Sooner or later the Austrian election campaign will end and the tone will come down," the minister said. (ANSA).
