Around three thousand far-right protesters from all over Italy gathered in Rome Saturday to call for the "remigration" of migrants back to their home countries, as a retired general launched a new far-right party.
"Immigrants may stay if they are willing to accept our rules of coexistence," one demonstrator, Susanna Rubei, told AFP. "Otherwise, they must return to their home countries.
"This applies particularly to those who commit crimes and are caught red-handed once, twice, three or four times," she added.
Luca Marsella, spokesman for the neofascist group Casapound, said: "We want to kick the illegal immigrants out -- force them out, because they shouldn't be here."
"And since we're not politically correct, we'll say we want to send the legal immigrants home too -- the ones who clearly haven't assimilated or integrated," he added.
