A 13-year-old Egyptian boy who hid
his phone from a bus hijacker and phoned police so they could
rescue the 51 kids before he torched the vehicle last week said
Monday he was the one who deserved the credit if Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini was being thanked for the rescue.
Salvini, after previously ruling out granting citizenship to
Ramy Shehata, is now reportedly considering it as an individual
move for special merits. Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio is
pressing for it.
"I want to become Italian, I was born her" Ramy said. "I want
to see what would have happened to salvini if all (the kids) had
died. They would all have been against him. If they're all
thanking him it's thanks to me".
On citizenship, he said "Salvini first said yes, then no. Di
Maio wants to give it to me, so I trust Di Maio".
