Unaccompanied minors, who are
included on the list of migrants that do not have permission to
enter France, are nonetheless not pushed back into Italy when
they cross the border, French authorities said Wednesday.
They are instead "systematically entrusted to departmental
facilities for minors and are not handed over to the Italian
authorities. This was the case for two migrants under age 18 on
October 18 as well", the prefect's office for the department of
the French Hautes-Alpes region said in a statement denying
accusations made on Tuesday by Italian Interior Minister Matteo
Salvini.
