The landings in Lampedusa exacerbate women are linked in the dock in protest

For other Italian regions, the landings in Lampedusa are a distant reality that the news refer to rotation. For residents of other regions of Italy may well be that way, but for the people of Lampedusa, the measure is now filled, in addition to being filled with the city itself. And so began to protest, especially women who are chained to the pier to prevent new berths for boats (who have worked around each block and surveillance).

Meanwhile, the 2 thousand arrivals in the last 24 hours, only 180 migrants have been transferred. How much more the city can bear? As yet its inhabitants? Have contributed to inflame the fear of quarantine risk and aggression of immigrants, after a 58, Lampedusa has reported a theft at home by migrant Tunisians.

The desperation of those who have undertaken this difficult journey for a better life collides with the desperation of one who sees invaded in every way. The saturation of the islet off the coast of Agrigento not lead to anything positive and the authorities already had to imagine that sooner or later would explode in a violent protest.

The bins overturned in the streets are small compared with the blockade at the port entrance, the announcement of a general strike and popular meeting with the mayor stopped abruptly because of some chairs that are flown in protest. And if the rest of Italy is still being discussed, it pontificates, plans, Lampedusa can not wait that decisions are taken elsewhere in places where the relaxed atmosphere does not make the idea of the nightmare of the small island of Sicily.

In the news nerve center of the riots in Sicily was granted, after all, quite relaxed, almost as if, by chance, if they expected. The Government has, in fact, did you know that tomorrow's five ferries, plus the ship San Marco, will lead off the island until the last of Tunisia, on balance about 6 000 desperate souls.

If souls continue to sparkle in Lampedusa is why no one has believed in this easy and painless resolution. Also because the agreement that the Italian had said to tighten with Tunisia to block outward, has already been fully revealed in bankruptcy: of course those who do not leave on the ships of the line, in broad daylight and with the trolley out of the weekend door! Hope should now reside in the extraordinary plan between the government and the regions to solve the problem, but the North has already made it clear that the problem does not concern them.

The truth is that these side nightmares wake of an Italy that has too much fear of the germ of evil that has in itself, to manage the foreign "other." Photo Source: La Stampa
