(8 Dec 2018) Tens of thousands of Northern League supporters gathered in Rome on Saturday for a rally staged by Italian Interior Minister and deputy Prime Minister, Matteo Salvini. Before his main speech, Salvini commented on the nightclub stampede near Ancona which killed six people, and expressed his condolences to the victims' families. He also asked the crowd to join him in a minute of silence for the victims and their families. Later in his speech, Salvini reiterated that Italian interests should be put before those of the European Union. He also spoke about the security decree, which is known as the "Salvini Decree", and is the latest measure by the Italian government to crack down on the more than 640,000 migrants who have arrived in Italy since 2014, most fleeing Libya aboard smugglers' boats.
