Permanent watch post at Claviere-Salvini

(ANSA) - Rome, October 22 - Italy will keep a permanent police watch post at Claviere on the French border after French gendarmerie dropped migrants back there after stopping them at the border earlier this month, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said Monday.
    "Pending my meeting with my French counterpart, Italy won't change its line: fixed police watchpoint at Claviere and blanket checks on push-backs by Paris in the last few months," Salvini said after interior ministry officials visited Claviere.
    "The mood has changed: we, unlike the (centre-left opposition party and former government party the Democratic Party) PD, protect the borders and don't bow our heads".
