Unfortunately, you need to keep Italian Roma in Italy.

We don't need a strongman. But we need a strong country that is not subordinate to Europe.

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

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?

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

The biggest problem in Italy is work. And out-of-control immigration damages the labor market because Italians can't compete with illegal workers who are being exploited. So to restore dignity to work, we must control immigration.

History goes in cycles.

Italy no longer wants to be a servant to silly rules.

Only Europeans can decide what is best for Europe.

Europe advises, sometimes threatens, and tells us, 'You should make a budget of 10 billion euros in taxes.' Are they joking? The last thing that Italy needs is taxes.

We want to give a voice to all the good people of the South.

We are in Europe, and we want a Europe that does few things and does them well, one that recognizes people's identities, languages, etc.

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.

I don't do my job as minister based on polls.

Everyone who votes for us will know that a Northern League government would get rid of the euro and move back to a national currency.

Roberto Saviano is the last of my problems.

Like Trump, I would say that fake news is distributed 24 hours a day.

Enough of Sicily being the refugee camp of Europe. I will not stand by and do nothing while there are landings after landings of migrants.

We can't turn Italy into a refugee camp.

We will work to modify and remove some European parameters, but regarding the euro, I remain convinced that the single currency is destined to end: not because I want it but because the facts, common sense, and the real economy dictate it.

My pope is Benedict.

Why on earth would free people remain prisoners in a cage of absurd laws and regulation, with rigid constraints that humiliate the true needs of the people and their country?

It is evident that the fanatical interpretation of the Koran is incompatible with our values of freedom and with Christian values.

Once the monetary sovereignty is retaken, one can make a last attempt to renegotiate all of the treaties: Maastricht, Schengen, Dublin, and Lisbon.

We need to adopt a new currency. It doesn't matter what or how we call it - lira, sterling, Roman sesterce.

In Italy, there's the need to help our kids have kids, not to have new slaves to replace the children we're not having.

We apply the catechism by opening Italy's doors to women and children who come here legally on aeroplanes, but no more men on rubber dinghies. We will help them grow up and work in their own countries. Let's spend in Africa the money that needs to be spent.

We need to put Italian interests before those of the European Union, or at least at the same level.

Centuries of history risk disappearing if Islamization, which up until now has been underestimated, gains the upper hand.

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

The final objective is not to distribute the migrants among various European countries but to prevent them from entering Europe and from departing from Africa. We need to intervene in Africa. We need to have a Marshall Plan for Africa to improve living conditions in the countries of origin.

I will seek to change some of the European treaties and regulations which penalise Italian people.

We will go to Europe to change the rules that have impoverished Italians.

We need deportation centres.

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

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?

The catechism says rich nations should welcome strangers within the limits of the possible. In Italy, we have reached the limits of the possible.

At school, everything was left v. right, communists and fascists; what interested me was the discussion of identity, autonomy, federalism, and community.

If anyone in the E.U. thinks Italy should keep being a landing point and refugee camp, they have misunderstood.

Italians think with their heads.

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

Italians first!

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

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.

People want identity, security, and jobs.

Macron talks about values, but he doesn't recognize the values itself, and therefore, they have no lessons to give to Italy.

We are for pension reform, jobs, the flat tax, and justice reforms.

I believe in the Italy of municipalities, of the Renaissance, not in Mussolini's centralization.

We need to defend the fruits of our land.

I want to work for peace, not for war.
