The echo of the Siculiana tragedy reaches Rome, where a migrant fleeing the reception center was hit by a car, while three officers who were pursuing him were injured.
“The Ministry of the Interior undertakes every day to safely manage a very complex network of reception centers – says the Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese -. Similar tragedies such as the death of a migrant run over by a car should never be repeated ”.
And he adds: “I express my closeness and I express my best wishes for a speedy recovery to the three policemen who were injured,” he added. “There has already been a significant reduction in the number of presences in the center of Siculiana, which, in previous years, has also reached peaks of 400 migrants welcomed at the same time.” On the controls he emphasizes: “Currently there are 65 police and military operators dedicated to the surveillance of the center,” he added.
THE CENTER OF SICULIANA. As of yesterday, the ministry explains, there are 237 migrants in the Siculiana reception center, including mainly Tunisians (55), Moroccans (24) and Bengalis (44). All those present underwent a smear on August 31: 16 were positive and 19 nasopharyngeal exams had an uncertain result. The hyssop was repeated to these last migrants, the outcome of which will be known today, and they were placed in solitary confinement. For all the migrants present in the structure, the Provincial Health Authority has ordered the repetition of the quarantine period. As soon as the result of the swabs for doubtful cases is known, the positive migrants are destined to be transferred to a ferry, subject to the favorable opinion of the Usmaf.
THE REGION. Meanwhile, the president of the Region Nello Musumeci is putting pressure on the government again. “Beyond the inadequate economic measures, I keep repeating that there is a health emergency in Sicily and it is getting stronger, so we await concrete facts. Yesterday afternoon we sent the document of the health working group on critical points and Reception Centers Lampedusa is bursting. And we hope that today the island will be emptied, as agreed at the Roman meeting. “
His Siculiana comments: “Even the tragic death of the young Eritrean who escaped from the reception center sounds like a warning: this emergency situation cannot be treated as normal. And this is the feeling.”
