"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to say that this is an indictment of a government which for two years has allowed hundreds of thousands of people to enter its country and at the same time has allowed those people to live in a state of absolute squalor, creating a new sub-proletariat. Those who did not consider a moratorium when Romania and other countries joined the EU should also be indicted.
I do not think that Italy is able to tackle this problem, amid other pressing issues such as waste management, employment and housing. The Roma question is an insurmountable problem, given that this ‘solidarity’ is represented by camps – as shown on yesterday’s
[Italian current affairs programme] – which are theoretically legal, but where there is continuous child abuse and the sanitation conditions are absolutely appalling.
I think the only thing that Italy can do – and Europe must support it in this – is: 1) suspend the Schengen Treaty for at least six months with regard to Italy, since Parliament recognises that there is a problem with the Roma emergency in Italy, so there should be a suspension of the Schengen Treaty; 2) make illegal immigration a criminal offence in Italy, as it is in other countries; 3) negotiate with Romania, Bosnia, Macedonia and Serbia – in other words with both EU Member States and third countries – for the humane repatriation of Italy’s Roma population."@en1
