Northern League leader Matteo
Salvini said on Friday that Premier Matteo Renzi "should copy
the Slovakian model" on immigration and only accept Christians.
Renzi's government "must copy the Slovakian model: if we
really have to accept immigrants, they must be Christians,"
Salvini told Radio Padania.
"While we wait to see if we can halt this organised
invasion", Salvini said that "Renzi must at least accept that
the core of immigrants welcomed must be culturally closer to
us."
"I would like to see what Galantino says on this," he said.
Earlier this week Archbishop Nunzio Galantino, No.2 in the
Italian Bishops Conference (CEI), accused the Italian government
of being "absent" from the immigration crisis and said it lacked
a coherent strategy for integrating migrants.
In Slovakia, the government has said it will only accept
Christians when it takes in Syrian refugees under a EU
relocation scheme.
