Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reveals how France is looting Africa

Must Watch

Giorgia Meloni, who was speaking in a televised interview, made the remark while showing a picture of a child working in a gold mine in Burkina Faso, which is one of the poorest countries in the world.

She said France prints colonial gold money for the country, but “in return demands that 50 percent of everything that Burkina Faso exports end up in the coffers of the French treasury.”

“The gold that this child goes down a tunnel to extract, mostly ends up in the coffers of the French state,” the Italian prime minister said.

Meloni added, “So, the solution [to the migrant issue] is not to take the Africans and bring them to Europe. The solution is to free Africa from certain Europeans who exploit it and allow this people to life off what they have.”

 

More from Meloni

 

The French-Italian feud is the latest episode in a European standoff over where to disembark refugees picked up after trying to reach Europe from North Africa.

Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said on November 10 that "France's reaction to the request to take in 234 migrants, while Italy has taken in 90,000 this year alone, is totally incomprehensible in the face of constant calls for solidarity."

Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani also said Rome wants "an agreement to establish, on the basis of population, how migrants with a right to asylum are relocated to various countries."

Italy, along with Spain, hosts most boats transporting migrants. Only 164 of the virtually 90,000 migrants who have reached Italy this year have so far been relocated to other EU states.
