(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 13 - Helping migrants who stay in their
home countries is a more humane approach to the migration
emergency, Premier Giorgia Meloni said at the presentation of a
book on Pope Francis Monday.
"In Africa we do not want to take the gold: we want to leave
investment and work.
Meloni went on to say that she had been accused of gruesome
things regarding migrant disasters, but had a clear conscience.
"These are peculiar days, I have been accused of gruesome things
but my conscience is clear: the more people leave the more we
risk something going wrong. It is not the humane way to deal
with it, perhaps it is the easiest, to decide that it is the
mafiosi who choose those who come to us, that those who arrive
find themselves victims of organised crime, of prostitution,"
she said. (ANSA).
