Antonio Tajani’s comments followed a statement released by Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
France has been accused by the president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, of intervening in the current clashes taking place in the Libyan capital Tripoli as the North African country inches closer to civil war following four days of clashes which have left approximately 27 dead and many more injured.
Tajani, who is also vice president of the Italian party “Forza Italia”, said France’s alleged intervention revolved around serving its own interests, Al Jazeera reported. “France has made a dramatic historical mistake and was hoping for a stronger presence in Libya, but at the end, there is nothing but chaos and we have paid the price through the continuing migration flows.”
Of equal concern are the thousands of migrants who have perished at sea when crowded, unseaworthy boats have overturned in the Mediterranean, while hundreds more have been abused in Libyan detention centres.
