Italy worried migrant flows up with grain crisis
Interior MInister Luciana Lamorgese said Friday she was concerned that more migrants would arrive from North Africa Italy due to the grain crisis sparked by the Ukraine war.
She said “some 300 million people are at risk of poverty and hunger, and we must necessarily think that there will be an increase in (migrant) flows, also in other countries and not just Italy.
“There has been an increase of 286% in Cyprus while we’re over 30% in Italy, where some 20,000 people have landed since the start of the year.
“Unless they manage to bring the grain out of the Black Sea ports we must expect a bigger flow.
“We are concerned, like all first-landing countries.
“There will certainly be a higher number”.
Diplomatic action on Ukraine must continue with force, Lamorgese stressed.
“Diplomatic activity must go ahead with ever increasing force,” she told Skytg24.
“The European leaders and our premier are intervening in all ways and at all levels at the European Council to arrive at a programme that sees peace developed in that country as soon as possible.
“Certainly, it is not simple because diplomatic activity needs two sides.
“When a point of contact is found in the negotiations, which must be reserved, they will also be able to come out and speak openly.
“We have to be very cautious”.

WATCH: England Team Booed by 35,000 Hungarians for BLM Knee, Lose Match
England’s national football team was roundly booed in Hungary for taking the knee prior to what proved to be a 1-0 loss to the Central European country.
The English national side, managed by Gareth Southgate and captained by Harry Kane, has doggedly persisted in carrying out the gesture, derided as virtue-signalling by some and leftist politicisation of football by others, long after players from most other countries — and indeed, English players in other sports — have quietly moved on since the height of the Black Lives Matter unrest in 2020, and it was poorly received in Hungary on June 4th.
The booing has incensed Southgate and his fellow-travellers in politics and the media, not least because Hungary was supposed to be subject to a temporary spectator ban by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), following allegations that Hungarian fans had unfurled banners reading ‘ANTI LMBTQ’ — the Hungarian equivalent of LGBTQ — and making racist comments and gestures towards ethnic minority players.
In fact, some 35,000 Hungarians are believed to have attended the match, due to a loophole in the ban allowing under-14s from schools and football academies to attend with their parents, according to The Times.
Southgate complained that it was “difficult to understand” how the large number of Hungarian fans aligned with a ban on stadium attendance, suggesting that it “needs some consideration [from footballing authorities] without a doubt.”
“That’s why we do [take the knee] — to try to educate people around the world. I have no idea why people would try to boo that gesture,” Southgate said of his team’s continued kneeling, as if it was not well known by now that many associate it with the Black Lives Matter organisation’s stated far-left political goals, such as defunding the police, and a far-left worldview that implicitly asserts that the West is systematically racist more generally
“Very often, young people can’t know why they are doing it, really. They are being influenced by older adults,” Southgate went on, also suggesting that the participation of Hungarian under-14s in the booing smacked of “inherited thinking”.
“I should add it still happens in our stadiums, too,” he conceded.
His comments earned a sharp rebuke from Hungarian government minister Zoltán Kovács, however, who tweeted that “Anyone who thinks that children attending a football match in Budapest can be blamed for any kind of political statement is truly an idiot.”
“Congratulations to our national team, applause for the 35,000 kids,” he added.

“White women are not allowed here”: In Italy, 6 girls between 16 and 17 years old were sexually assaulted on a train by about 30 migrants
Girls aged 16-17 report being groped and taunted by dozens of North African young men on the Verona-Milan train.
“Why did no one intervene at the station and on the train? Neither the train staff nor the police. We parents were far away, we called the emergency number 112, but no one came, even though our daughters were in danger, trapped in a carriage, at the mercy of a maniacal gang. They were attacked by about 30 people, they felt terrible, one of the girls had a panic attack. And we were sticking to the phones after their calls for help, trying (in vain) to achieve an “intervention”.(…) Il Giorno
A day that was supposed to be a pure fun day turned into a nightmare for six girls returning from Gardaland by train. The girls, four of whom live in Milan and two in Pavia, were all between 16 and 17 years old and were on board regional train 2640, which left from Peschiera del Garda in the province of Verona and was supposed to take them back to Milan after a day at the amusement park. As IlGiorno.it reports, the girls were allegedly harassed and sexually abused by about 100 North Africans for a long time and in a serious manner.
The victims reported: “We were surrounded. The heat was oppressive, some of us fainted. While we were looking for the driver, the sexual harassment took place. They later recalled that their attackers had laughingly said to them, “White women don’t get on here”. The incident occurred late in the afternoon last Thursday, June 2. The teenagers said they were at the Peschiera train station shortly before 6pm, where the platform and tracks were “populated by more than a hundred boys and even some girls, mostly of North African origin, our age or a little older”.
(…) It seems that the victims of sexual harassment did not alert the police for fear of being beaten, but decided to call their parents, who in turn dialled the emergency number 112, “but nobody intervened”, the parents reported.
Luca Zaia, governor of the Veneto region, commented on the incidents saying: “The idea that girls could be bullied, harassed or assaulted in our region is unbearable. I plead for zero tolerance and for the police to do everything in their power to find the perpetrators”. (…) Il Giornale
