"The publication of the ’diary’ of Fabrizio Gatti in L’Espresso magazine, in which, disguised as a migrant, the reporter spent 8 days in a temporary shelter and underwent a number of outrageous abuses, is further proof of our claims that shelters like the one in Lampedusa should be closed," said Refounded Communists leader Fausto Bertinotti.
"Earlier this year," he added, "our own MEP Giusto Catania reported the abuses which are perpetrated on a daily basis at the temporary shelter in Lampedusa.
We’ve repeatedly asked the shelter be closed. We even mobilised European institutions.
This excellent report will help back our claims that the Bossi-Fini law on immigration must be cancelled.
It’s time to extend citizenship rights to all. The Berlusconi government has a disastrous record on immigration, and this brave reporter should be praised for his work.
He has helped to draw the public’s attention to a reality that not even we believed was so inhuman." (AGI)
