An article about Salvini’s expulsions. Migrants, Roma, etc… As if all Roma were migrants. One thing is good, the numbers of Roma cited (26’000) reflects the population of Roma living in camps, not the numbers of Roma in Italy…

Thanks for the generalisation …

In the afternoon of September 13, Roma families of the Camping River camp decided to return to their homes in Via Tenuta Piccirilli 207, on the Tiberina, in the North of Rome. They were protesting against the illegitimate eviction ordered by Matteo Salvini and Virginia Raggi on July 26, 2018: “we want to guarantee a school and a home for all our children: we cannot live on the streets”.
It is a shame …
