Fps Police: “So it’s a massacre”
“They started a fire, attacked the police, throwing objects of all kinds at them, wounding three, before leaving despite being in quarantine. These events occur with alarming frequency, but now they are lived as if they were normal, and This is unacceptable.

Migration policy is the responsibility of those who govern us, but it is not allowed to pretend to be able to sustain it at the expense of the health of uniformed workers. “Migrants – According to official reconstructions of the police union, they threw fire extinguishers, mosquito nets, parts of broken windows, stones and others Objects to the police. A fire also broke out after migrants set mattresses on fire trying to throw them at the police. Some managed to escape from the center where they were in quarantine. 3 officers from the Palermo Mo Bilis Department injured. “Practically everywhere In these structures – Mazzetti concludes – migrants refuse to remain in quarantine. The riots and massive escapes are continuous, and numerically we are not able to confront them, nor do we have any protocols in this regard. We systematically risk a massacre, while crimes are committed very serious “.
