The French Minister of the Interior Dalmaning on Thursday (May 4) said in the radio interview program that Italian Prime Minister Meloni could not solve the immigration problem facing Italy.He described Meloni as a friend of Le Pen, the leader of the French right -wing party, and criticized Le Pen.

Since the second half of last year, the immigration policy has been the focus of the two countries, and once caused the relationship between the two countries to be tense.Melonyne had rejected a humanitarian rescue ship carrying more than 200 immigrants on the shore in Italy, and the ship was later allowed to stop in France.French President Macron and Microni met during the EU summit in March this year to talk about immigration issues.
Due to the surge in the recent number of immigrants that cross the Mediterranean, the Italian government announced in April this year that the country has entered a six -month emergency state.Darmaen said earlier that Italy was facing a "very serious immigration crisis", and he also paid attention to the "large number of immigrants" in the border area of France and Italian.
