Border tensions have hit a new low between Italy and France as Italy accuses French border guards of dumping unwanted migrants inside Italian territory.

Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini has condemned the action and  said Italy will ‘no longer be the refugee camp of Europe’, while French PM Emmanuel Macron called Italy’s hard line on migration ‘nauseating’.

French interior minister Christophe Castaner replied he wishes to improve border cooperation but that both countries need stronger measures against undocumented immigration.
