German Interior Minister ‘Fully in Tune’ with Italy’s Salvini on Migration, Rows with Merkel
Breitbart UK ^ | 12 Jun 2018 | Liam Deacon

German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer has invited Italian populist leader Matteo Salvini to Berlin in order to discuss Europe’s border crisis. The pair has already spoken on the phone and are in “full harmony” on migration and security policies, according to a statement from the Italian Interior Ministry.

Mr Seehofer is the leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU) party of Bavaria, which has pushed for a cap on asylum seeker numbers and disagrees with ruling coalition partner Chancellor Angela Merkel and her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) on the issue.

Mr Salvini serves as Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, as well as leading the Lega (League) party, which is fiercely against the European Union’s (EU) migrant policies and has slammed Germany for encouraging illegal migration. The invitation comes shortly after Salvini made headlines worldwide for turning away migrant delivery ship Aquarius, run by the controversial cgarity SOS Mediterranean.

Although left-wing critics slammed Salvini for the move, it was seen as a tactical victory for the populist leader, as nearby Spain subsequently agreed to open their ports to the vessel.

Seehofer is currently trying to pull Germany’s new government to the right and to adopt a harder stance on migration to win back territory from the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party which has gained their first seats in the legislature.

I’m stunned the German media hasn’t already labelled Seehofer the 2nd coming of Adolf Hitler and claimed he will start World War III. That’s usually what the establishment there does to anybody who challenges them.

In central & eastern Europe, that certainly seems to be true. The right is ascendant in Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia and, of course, certain German regions (Bavaria). However, looking west, we seen Spain and Ireland aggressively moving to the left. Go figure.

IOW, Soros and the rest of the EU occupation regime realize they're teetering on the brink, and are blowing smoke up a few asses to buy some time. The Italians should be giving them the same treatment they eventually gave Mussolini. Thanks aquila48.

“Merkel and May both need the boot”

Spot on. May is screwing up brexit about beyond repair. They are still on the remain path.

Good. Now France needs to join the movement, and the muzzies will have to go stay home.

Let's pray it's in time to save Europe's gentle iconic cultures. (Something the thuggy Germans would never understand)
