Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
responded with irony to criticism directed at him following the
murder of a migrant trade unionist in Calabria at the weekend.
Salvini, who is also deputy premier and League leader,
tweeted the link of an article by daily newspaper Il Giornale
with the headline "Migrants against Salvini: 'Racist, your good
times are up'".
The minister's only comment in the tweet was the hashtag
#colpadiSalvini - #Salvinitoblame.
Police are trying to track down the killers of Soumaila
Sacko, a 29-year-old Malian national who was shot dead in an
attack in the town of San Calogero in which two others were
wounded.
The killing of Sacko, an activist for migrant rights, sparked
protests by migrant workers in the area.
