“Positive, clean immigration, which brings ideas, energy and respect with it, is welcome,” Salvini, who is also deputy premier and leader of the League party, said in a video on Facebook.
“My problem is with criminals, like the one who killed a 77-year-old Italian in Sessa Aurunca, beaten by one of these so-called resources who are supposedly paying our pensions.
“This is because there are some superstars who say the situation would be a disaster without migrants. I’m thinking of the president of INPS.
“But there is lots that needs to be changed, including in this part of the public system”. Boeri has said migrants are needed to keep Italy’s pension system sustainable and he has also criticised the government’s plans to overhaul the 2011 Fornero pension reform.
A man of African origin killed a 77-year-old Italian by smashing in his head with his fists inside the hospital of Sessa Aurunca, in the province of Caserta. The carabinieri immediately intervened on the spot and, with many difficulties, blocked the subject, which was then sedated by the medical staff.
Both were admitted to the Diagnosis and Treatment Prevention Service (SPDC) of the Sessa Aurunca hospital, a facility that accommodates patients with psychiatric problems.
The incident occurred on Tuesday morning. The victim, as reported by CasertaNews, is the 77-year-old Luca Toscano, a retired nurse at Falciano del Massico, in the Caserta area.
Meanwhile a Supreme Court of Cassation case aimed at seizing funds from the League party “wherever they are” to retrieve almost 49 million euros the state was allegedly defrauded of, was launched by enemies of Salvini’s party.
The Court of Cassation stated this in its explanation of its decision to uphold an appeal by prosecutors to reverse a successful appeal Salvini against the “blanket” seizure of party funds.
The money regards a case in which former League leader and founder Umberto Bossi was convicted in a first-instance trial.
The Cassation said the money should be impounded from sources including bank accounts and deposits and 1.5 million euros has already been frozen.
“We are astounded to learn of the explanation from the news agencies, before the Cassation, of the sentence, according to which, the seizure of 48 million euros in electoral reimbursements should be seized,” said League MP and party administrator Giulio Centemero.
“Perhaps the effectiveness of the League government’s action is annoying some. But they certainly won’t stop us like this”.
