FdI urges naval anti-immigrant blockade

(ANSA) - Venice, August 3 - The leader of the small rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party on Monday called for a naval blockade off the coast of Africa to prevent migrant vessels from leaving.
    "We need a naval blockade within a European mission," said FdI president Giorgia Meloni.
    "We request support for a European mission in North Africa, in Libya, to help the legitimate government recover control of its coasts and ports".
    Meloni went on to call for first reception camps to be set up in Africa "from which to distribute asylum seekers equally" among EU member nations.
