To the cheer of his supporters and the harsh greeting of many protesters, the new Italian minister of the interior, Mr. Matteo Salvini of the Lega Nord, visited a refugee center on the Italian island of Sicily, where most African illegals are housed. Mr. Salvini spoke quite harshly at times, clearly surprising the conservative European press.
