Interior Minister Matteo
Salvini on Friday described French President Emmanuel Macron as
"a polite young man who drinks too much champagne" after the
latter's jibe about "populist leprosy", reportedly regarding the
Italian government and its hard-line stance on migrants.
"He, who lines up the police at (the French-Italian border
at) Ventimiglia should not get on Italy's back," the League
leader and deputy premier said at a local election rally near
Massa Carrara.
"He should give us the number of his port authority and the
next 10 migrant boats can go to Marseilles".
