Deputy Premier and Transport Minister
Matteo Salvini on Sunday thanked everyone for their support
after a Palermo prosecutor requested a six-year jail term for
the former interior minister for allegedly kidnapping 147
migrants aboard the Open Arms rescue ship dive years ago, and
said he would never give up fighting for Italy and protecting
its borders.
"Thank you all for the support. Surrender? Never. I do not give
up," said the rightwing anti-immigrant League party leader,
publishing some of the statements of solidarity and support he
had received since Saturday's request, including from Premier
Giorgia Meloni and his fellow deputy premier and foreign
minister, Antonio Tajani.
