Premier Giorgia Meloni on Sunday
warned that the migrant emergency Italy is facing could soon
affect the whole EU as she visited Lampedusa with European
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
"If anyone thought that, in the face of the current global
crisis, this issue would go away, they were mistaken," Meloni
told a news conference.
"With this level of (migrant) flows, if we do not all work
together, the border states will be affected first and then
everyone else will.
"It is a problem that involves everyone and must be tackled by
everyone.
"The presence of von der Leyen (here) is a sign of awareness".
