(ANSA) - Rome, October 19 - Interior Minister and Deputy
Premier Matteo Salvini said Friday that there was evidence of a
new suspected "hostile act" by French officials after a French
gendarmery police van was seen dropping off two men, suspected
to be African migrants, in woods near the border at Claviere
last week.
"Italy-France relations risk being seriously damaged and not
because of us," Salvini said, referring to a video, recorded
again in the area of Claviere.
He called on Paris to clarify "another initiative by the
French police that took place this morning.
"An initiative that appears to be a provocation and a hostile
act".
"This morning a citizen from Claviere filmed the police of
(French President Emmanuel) Macron enter Italy and leave a group
of people in a road," he added on Facebook.
"Who are they? Where are they from? Why weren't we informed?
"Without a fast, complete and convincing explanation, we will
be faced with a provocation and hostile act".
