The mayor of Ventimiglia, Enrico Ioculano, has issued an order for urgent reasons of hygiene, health, public safety and urban security which requires the removal of “unauthorized encampments” in where migrants live.

The refugees, a hundred, two weeks ago gathered along the river Roja with the help of “No Border”. A situation that Ventimiglia has already lived a year ago when hundreds of migrants camped on rocks and pine forest with the hope of entering France who, however, had closed the border. Yesterday to protest the new emergency Pd mayor and 11 council majority had autosospesi from the party, accusing the National Democratic Party, the regional and the government had not resolved the matter. The eviction should take place within 48 hours of notification.

A Ventimiglia this situation is experienced as ‘the failure of Alfano’ plan that has ordered the closure of the reception center (only received migrants who were identified ), he had invited the police to identify and remove the refugees and ordered the blocking of new arrivals on the trains arriving at the border. The decision to proceed with the eviction was taken in the light of the Committee’s guidelines for Public Order and Security, after the complaint filed by the residents of a neighborhood near the camps and after an ASL survey that had found there was no of sanitation, supply of drinking water and lack of adequate housing conditions.

“the settlements – is written in the order – it is due to obvious serious danger to the health of the migrant population with risk transmission of diseases. the camps constitute serious danger to health and public safety, as well as for the occupants themselves. ” The detention order shall state that: “Despite the state of need of the same, the situation of degradation and danger can not continue further.” And then. “The non-compliance with this Ordinance, within the prescribed period will result, pursuant to the law, the compulsory removal with the use of public force.”
