No lessons from those who push back women and kids - Salvini

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 4 - Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini said amid a fresh migrant spat between Italy and France Thursday that Rome would not accept lessons from those like the French who pushed back women and children at the border with Italy.
    Salvini was speaking after French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin called Premier Giorgia Meloni a far right leader who was unable to solve the migrant issues she had been elected for amid an extremely serious migrant crisis, also likening her to French far right leader Marine Le Pen.
    Salvini, Meloni's biggest government ally and the rightwing League party leader, said: "I'm proud to be a friend of Marine Le Pen and to be in government with Giorgia Meloni, and I don't take lessons on immigration from those who push back into Italy women, children and men, instead continuing to host murderers and terrorists who should return to Italy," referring to a March 28 French supreme Court of Cassation ruling confirming a lower court's refusal to extradite 10 former leftist terrorists, mostly ex- members of the Red Brigades (BR) group which dominated Italy's Years of Lead of social turmoil and leftist and rightist political violence from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s.
