Italy’s populists promise to kick out half a million migrants

Telegraph UK: Italy’s populist parties, which are expected to form a new government within days, have pledged to deport up to half a million migrants.

An aggressive stepping-up of repatriations was a long-held promise of the hard-Right League, which is poised to form a coalition government with the anti-establishment Five Star Movement.

The parties presented their policy programme on Friday, in what was widely seen as the biggest challenge to the authority and cohesion of the EU since Brexit.

The 58-page manifesto called for a review of governance and spending rules imposed by Brussels.

It called for the recruitment of more police, the building of new prisons and the clearing of illegal gypsy settlements in Italian towns and cities.  more
