Migrants quarantined for four days on a bus in Udine: Caritas intervenes. And Fedriga threatens “Musumeci ordinance”

The day the minister Luciana Lamorgese was in Friuli Venezia Giulia to meet with regional leaders and discuss border control, they finally found a decent place to seat the 70 people migrants that since Saturday they slept on a bus in Udine.

One step back: last week, a group of about 70 people from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh was transferred from Thirteenth – a city a few kilometers north of the Friulian capital where they had no other place to stay than in bleachers of the Sanctuary of the Missionary Virgin – in Udine. But not in a covered structure but it is left inside the messenger inside the park of the old mental hospital now headquarters of a district of the Integrated University Health Authority of Udine. They allowed four days to manage the period. quarantine for anti-covid regulations sitting on the bus or at most in the garden above which vehicles are parked, no bathroom, unable to move and praying that he weather Friulian didn’t make his usual jokes.

The request to transfer them, however, came from a Mayor of the Pd area, Giorgio Baiutti. And the Prefect of Udine Angelo Ciuni, accepting their request, decided to transfer the asylum seekers to the municipality that had yelled the loudest, during the election campaign, of not wanting more: that of Udine, for two and a half years in traction Northern League. A short circuit to make voters stand out. “This cannot be the response of a land like Friuli that can guarantee, by the numbers of this situation, I rights of the received and the rights of reception with balance and civility ”, declared the former councilor. Federico Pirone, now a minority councilor in Udine and the only member of the opposition who has taken a position of open human outrage at the situation.

On Tuesday, after four days, the Smilies local: the diocesan association will take care of the people transferred as objects from one place to another in the province, under the indifference of any color policy. Thus the move took place, while the Minister of the Interior arrived in the region remembered by the calls of the mayors and the governor. Fedriga, struggling with the sharpening of Balkan route and with the consequences of dismantling of the widespread reception system. However, none of the mayors who attended the summit mentioned the issue.

Nobody wonders about the dismantling of the widespread reception by the Region, even if even the prefect of Udine Ciuni repeats that it would have been useful to have no big places manage, in addition to the first reception, also the anti-covid practices. But no one, from right to left, responds to calls that have overlapped for months. Indeed: after the meeting with Lamorgese, who promised an intensification of controls not only at the borders but also in state highways That of Slovenia enter – literally – to download migrants from the Balkan route the furthest from the border for fear of rejections, Massimiliano Fedriga stated that if it does not see results, it will adopt the “Musumeci” model, close all regional reception centers.

Lamorgese, however, was adamant on one point, deny the closure of minor crossings as suggested by Fedriga himself. And he remembered that Friuli Venezia Giulia is thereIt is the only region where a project for unaccompanied minors has not even been activated to access national and European funds. As if to say “Help yourself, heaven helps you.” Meanwhile, migrants are moved from one place to another, in a blame game in which no Friulian municipality seems willing to receive more (only the Democratic mayor of Palmanova made an attempt Francesco Martines, invoking collaboration). Even the dreaded old barracks Cavarzerani, where more than 400 asylum seekers have been in quarantine for more than a month, is being emptied. And no one, apart from some outraged citizens, seems to ask “what will become of these people?”
