the Protests and the barricades when the arrival of the refugees is announced, and often imposed, by the authority of the state. Riots of migrants themselves, when the deterioration of the State, in particular in the great centres of first reception or in what remains of the Cie, identification and expulsion Centres that now you would like to reopen on the basis of a questionable connection with the murder of the Berlin and Istanbul, claimed by Isis. As has happened in Cona, province of Venice, where the 1,500 asylum seekers were concentrated in a structure – a Centre of first reception – dilapidated, in a village of just 90 inhabitants. Few or non-existent, instead, the concrete problems of coexistence where the refugees are already living, even for many months (not by the will but is awaiting the outcome of the request for asylum), especially if they are accommodated in adequate facilities and well-managed.
Enlightening it says the mayor of the centre-right of Cona, Alberto Panfilio, in the aftermath of the revolt of the guests of the centre, triggered by alleged delays in the rescue of a young guest died from an illness. "This centre was born in July 2015 to accommodate 15 migrants. In August there were already 300. Already then I felt the rulers talk about the need to thin out the ranks, but we have arrived now at 1500". The mayor did not mention theft, violence, fights, or other bugbears that afflict the barricades preventive. Migrants (most of the people who would like to continue the journey towards other european Countries) have simply "changed the habits of Cona". Is this "the failure of the acceptance and of the organization."
So the "fear", the desire of "security", you have proved to be more political-media real. In short, as says to you today, are for the most part "perceived". And patience if then, in practice, in the vast majority of cases, the coexistence between residents and asylum seekers is much less problematic than flaunted at events and rallies.
it is the result of an inquiry he helped.it places on the host institutions of the asylum seekers. 30 December 2016 – the latest data provided by the ministry of Interior – Italy provides welcome to 175 thousand immigrants. Of these, over 23 thousand are the responsibility of the network "Sprar" (protection System for asylum applicants and refugees) and almost 137mila are in temporary structures (the rest, more than 14 thousand are in reception centres and hotspots). The region most committed to is the Lombardy (23 persons, 13% of the total), followed by the Lazio (nearly 15 thousand, 9%), and a group of regions substantially matched: Veneto, Piedmont, Campania and Sicily (about 14 thousand each, equal to 8% of the total).
We asked our journalists to report the stories stronger from these territories, both good and bad. The cases of degradation and conflict, but also the good practices which can serve as a model. And, above all, to enlighten us about daily life in and around the centres of large and small, concentrated or "popular". From the point of view of the migrants and Italian residents of the surrounding area.
what emerges and problems are not lacking, but the barricades and the tensions that arise regularly before the arrival of the refugees – an example the case of Gorino, ferrara, or of the ex caserma Montello Milano, rather than to their actual presence. Much, then, depends on how the centers are placed, organized, managed, and from which the collective activities include, starting from the courses of the Italian language.
of Course, in the face of these numbers, a lot of us will be escaped. You can also report problematic cases or good examples -very detailed – from your city e-mail address redazione@ilfattoquotidiano.it, specifying in the object "inquiry, the refugees".
Watch the first two episodes of our survey:
1. Refugees, 450 in the former Cie of Milan. Tensions? "Maybe do nothing, ever, our customers are stressed" (Anna Vullo)
2. "Migrants? No, live with us". Homes for rent and free services, in Calabria, the co-existence "model Drosi" (text and video of Lucio Musolino)
