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

In Italy there are 5 million legal migrants. They're integrated, and they're welcome. The problem of the Muslim presence is increasingly worrying. There are more and more clashes, more and more demands. And I doubt the compatibility of Italian law with Muslim law, because it's not just a religion but a law. And problems can be seen in Great Britain as well as in Germany, so reassessing our coexistence is fundamental.

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

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.

The euro is a failed currency, a wrong currency, a failed experiment.

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

In Italy there are two emergencies. This is what I hear, and this is what all the stats say. Employment and security.
