Italy’s far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Friday (March 15) condemned the deadly attacks on New Zealand mosques and asked for “compassion” for anyone who might blame him for the killings.
“Massacre in NewZealand, condemnation and utter contempt for the odious murderers, prayers for the innocent victims, compassion for those who say ‘it’s always Salvini’s fault’,” the anti-immigrant Lega leader tweeted.
Salvini is also deputy prime minister, along with Luigi Di Maio, after forming a coalition with the Five Star Movement.
