The Italian driver of Senegalese origin on Wednesday hijacked the bus as it was taking the 12-13 year-olds from a gym to school in Crema, east of Milan.
"It's crazy, absurd, it's unacceptable. Someone has to pay, and dearly," said Filippo Razzini, the father of a pupil at the school in the small town of Crema who was not on the bus.
The driver's lawyer said his client had wanted to"draw attention to the consequences of migration policies". "This villain has to pay for everything," said Salvini, whose League party is riding high in the polls in part because of its tough anti-migrant stance.
