Northern League says Renzi has migrant blood on hands

(ANSA) - Rome, June 30 - The head of the anti-immigrant Northern League said the government had blood on its hands after it emerged Monday that 30 people died in an overnight migrant crossing from North Africa to Italy. "Stop crossings, help them at home now!" said Matteo Salvini on Facebook. "The shirts of (Premier Matteo) Renzi and (Interior Minister Angelino) Alfano are stained with blood". Nearly 600 passengers were aboard the boat intercepted by the navy, officials said, adding the dead victims on board likely asphyxiated.
