Italy to suspend EU funding unless others take in migrants

You can instead. Salvini used to be against mandatory refugee redistribution quotas when he was part of the E.U parliament and alongside the rest of Lega and other contributed to shot the whole system down togheter with other states at the last E.U summit on migration. Now instead he wants all the others E.U states to take in migrants that have been taken on board by boats of the Italian coastguard. Bipolar much? This will surely fly over well with his so called "friends" in countries like Austria and Hungary. I'm sure Orban will be thrilled to take in migrants from Italy and will welcome them with a "Love to refugee sign".

For years Salvini ranted against redistribution quotas saying they were not the solution but and that migrants should not be redistributed in Europe but be sent back to Africa and now that he is in charge of the ministry of interior in italy he wants the quotas back(actually the new governments seem to want to quotas back but on steroids since in this case we are not even talking about redistributing confirmed refugees but migrants that have not been even vetted yet).
