Anti-immigrant Northern
League leader Matteo Salvini Monday lashed out at Premier Matteo
Renzi, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, House Speaker Laura
Boldrini and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, charging they all
want to "uproot peoples" to make them "new slaves" in Europe.
"How do I feel? I feel like an evil beast," Salvini
quipped, referring to a remark by Renzi on Sunday calling those
who whip up anti-migrant sentiment for electoral reasons
"animal".
"The good guys are Renzi, Alfano, Boldrini and Merkel, who
want to uproot peoples to bring them to Europe as new slaves".
"They have sniffed out a bargain ... I believe that today
Europe is governed by new slavers," Salvini said, speaking with
his party organ, Radio Padania.
