Marchetti specifically mentioned the Five-Star Movement, the anti-establishment party founded by comedian and activist Beppe Grillo, and the separatist Northern League as the parties most likely to benefit from an increase in anti-migrant sentiment in Italy.
"I doubt the migrant issue alone will be enough to sway the election, but it will no doubt be one of the factors that plays a role," Marchetti said. "It depends how much these parties can make it part of the political narrative as the vota approaches."
Francesca Curi, a law professor at the University of Bologna, said it is important that Italy not come up with a knee-jerk reaction to the crisis. Some of the extreme reactions some people have are to call for the ports to be closed off (to migrants) or for the borders to be sealed," Curi told Xinhua. "It would be a mistake to make a short-sighted decision."
She said a better strategy was to help resolve the violence or political instability that makes migrants willing to flee their home countries, and that, for migrants who do arrive in Europe, for states to work together to give them as many opportunities as possible. "It's a complex problem, and it would be irresponsible to look only for simple solutions no matter how appealing," she said.
