Politician

The only antidote to racism - and the Italians are anything but racist - is to return to a respect for laws and regulations and monitor who enters and who leaves this country.

Listening to the people, being a minister that goes to the cities, to the squares, to the stations, to the hospitals, for me is a duty and a pleasure.

We do not accept lessons on rights or humanity from Mr. Macron.

The problem of the Muslim presence is increasingly worrying. There are more and more clashes, more and more demands. And I doubt the compatibility of Italian law with Muslim law, because it's not just a religion but a law.

I want to highlight that Italy, every year, sends 6 billion euros in cash to Brussels. I cannot give these 6 billion euros to Brussels and then let them damage us on the fronts of agriculture, migration, fishing, commerce and finance. Why am I giving 6 billion to receive nothing in return?

I tell the truth and they call me a fascist, a racist, an ugly, dirty, nasty, xenophobic populist.

Changing Europe is a big goal. But I think it is at our fingertips.

Exporting this Western model of democracy in countries that don't want it or are not ready creates disasters.

No one will ever manage to convince me that the Fornero law is right and should not be changed.

Let's take back our currency; then we can discuss at what conditions we can stay in the E.U.

Who would have thought we would be part of a winning coalition in Molise and Sicily? That we would win in places like Siena, Viterbo, Pisa, and Terni?

Maybe in Luxembourg there's a need for new immigration, but in Italy, there's a need to help people have children.

The defense of our values and our identity requires regulation of the Islamic presence and Islamic organizations in Italy.

We have created a ministry of the family to work on fertility, nurseries, on a fiscal system which takes large families into account.

I would like free movement within the E.U. as a result of us protecting external borders.

Unfortunately, a certain type of Islam ghettoizes itself and is incompatible with our society. And it amazes me that some within the Catholic hierarchy act as if they do not understand.

You can't die from going to the stadium to see a soccer match.

The laws imposed by Brussels damage Italian artisans, traders, pensioners, but hey, Europe is asking, so we have to obey. Come on, if Europe asks me to throw myself in a well, I'm not going to do that just because Europe is asking me to, am I?

The so-called 'far right' defends the working class far more than the left does.

We need to increase deportations.
