(ANSA) - Milan, January 3 - Anti-immigrant Northern League
leader Matteo Salvini said Tuesday there would be "mass
expulsions" of migrants when the League gained power, after the
most recent revolt in a migrant centre in Italy.
Speaking after volunteers were briefly seized at the centre
near Venice, Salvini said "we will carry out mass expulsions,
Italy has had enough of such cases".
"2017 will be the year we take our country back"
Salvini criticised the migrants, who were protesting after
the death of a young Ivorian woman, for "setting fire to
furniture and abducting operators including doctors and nurses
all night".
Mass expulsions says Salvini
2017 will be comeback year
