Italy’s new Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini is joining a group of Italian leaders calling for changes to the European Union’s Dublin treaty which requires refugees to be processed in the country of their arrival.

 

He claims it is necessary to stop migration boats to save lives after 46 people died when a boat sank off the coast of Tunisia yesterday.

 

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she is committed to a single European asylum system to solve the migration crisis.
