The President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano has been defined as "unacceptable" situation in the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, which is crowded with 6,200 immigrants waiting to be taken by the Government. Napolitano has asked the regions of the country on behalf of cohesion and solidarity to help the island welcoming refugees landed in recent days.
"Italy, the Italian regions, can not give a show of uncertainty and division and you have some that agree to receive immigrants and others not," said the head of state, an apparent reference to the Northern League, whose regional presidents and ministers call for return of the landed forcibly to their country of origin.
In addition, Napolitano has criticized the national government's action and stated that "should have been in recent days as the means to make the island a large part of immigrants." Yesterday, Napolitano suggested that Italy should remember that "has been a country of emigration," and again today to appeal to solidarity, and has also asked the European Union a single policy on immigration and political asylum.
" "I hope they can get in the coming weeks," he said. Bossi: "Out of balls" Umberto Bossi, Northern League leader and Minister for Reforms of the Cabinet of Silvio Berlusconi, said that the European Union must intervene quickly, "and when asked what is the solution to Lampedusa responded using a vulgar expression Lombard dialect: Foeura di ball, literally "out of balls." Meanwhile, about two thousand immigrants will be left uneaten on Lampedusa today, as the company that deals with the reception of illegal distributes 4,200 meals a day and the current number is 6,200, reported the mayor Bernardo de Rubeis.
The overcrowding situation of African immigrants on the island today has led to many islanders to take the City Council, after yesterday blocked the port to prevent the entry of aliens whose arrival is increasing every day, also due to good weather in the channel Sicily. Among the newcomers are immigrants 145 Eritreans, including five newborns, who had to be rescued by the Coast Guard and the Finance Guard after their boat capsized in the Mediterranean.
The Islanders have asked that 5,000 immigrants are transferred to other places in Italy and placed a banner on the podium of City Hall with the slogan: "It's not racist, but survival." The small island south of Sicily, has 5,000 inhabitants, who have been overtaken by the North Africans arriving in small boats and fishing boats fleeing chaos in their countries.
Undocumented immigrants living in deplorable conditions in camps, waiting to be brought to the mainland. The host school is entitled to only 800 people, so that newcomers have to be established on the beaches and port, where hygienic conditions are extremely precarious. "Lampedusa is necessary to remove immediately and transfer to the immigrants, otherwise the health situation in the island soon, might not be under control," said Tulio Prestileo, chief scientist at the Sicily-based Institute for Health Immigrant Population.
The governor of Sicily, Raffaele Lombardo, yesterday called on Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, to hold an extraordinary Council of Ministers to address the "humanitarian emergency" declared by the Executive to the massive influx of immigrants.
