Salvini urges Berlusconi to back anti-migrant protest

(fixes typo in Berlusconi) (ANSA) - Rome, August 20 - Northern League leader Matteo Salvini called on former premier Silvio Berlusconi Thursday to support his anti-immigrant campaign due to climax with a three-day 'national shutdown' in Noverber.
    "I am more interested in the reaction of the citizens, who are dying from taxes, rather than of the parties," Salvini told Gr1 national radio.
    "I hope that those in opposition will give us a hand, that we'll vote again (in a general election) and and finally do something, and I hope that Berlusconi will be in the game," Salvini added.
    Meanwhile the centre-left governor of the Friuli region, Debora Serracchiani, lashed out at the League firebrand, saying "Salvini at this moment is the problem for Italy, he certainly is not the solution".
