Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Friday that his government has not gone soft in its approach in
migrant arrivals from North Africa.
"We won't accept any mechanism that could end up encouraging
new arrivals," Conte said in New York, where he is taking part
in the UN General Assembly.
"Our policy is highly rigorous and we will not move back a
millimetre.
"Italy must decide who arrives on its territory.
"A sovereign State must combat illegal immigration".
