Italians cannot vote on international treaties.

I'm a federalist. I believe in the Italy of municipalities, of the Renaissance, not in Mussolini's centralization.

I don't understand why Italians should be bound to Brussels's choices without being able to express themselves through a referendum.

Statistics tell us that of the 500,000 people who arrived, those who are granted political asylum are more or less 10 percent. I mean those who are fleeing from war, from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, parts of Nigeria. Welcoming them, in all of these cases, is our duty. For illegals, though, expulsion is needed.

If tomorrow morning Brussels should decide to let Turkey in, Italians wouldn't be free to oppose it, neither in Parliament nor through a referendum. A

We need to push our border across the Mediterranean - hoping that Libya can find a new balance as soon as possible.

If Rome gets to decide everything for the north and for the south, it's not a good and just thing.
