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 …

She says it was wrong to say it, and she did not know the microphone was on …… That is the thing she probably regrets.

Salvini is earning quite a bit of critique for his comment whereas many Roma are parasites. Two prominent catholic journals “Avvenire” and “Famiglia Cristiana” severely criticised him. Avvenire said: “Mo man is ever a parasite. A minister can speak like this”.
Meanwhile, the Corriere della Sera reminded who were the last “parasites” in Italy: The Jews under Mussolini.
Shame on Salvini.

The Roma camp of “Camping River” was cleared by the police yesterday. Clearly, no alternative lodging was provided. The camp closure goes against a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that was blatantly ignored by the Italian authorities.
The Italian press was more in favour of the closure than the international one.
