Salvini Is Keeping His Promises: Italian Shanty Town Bulldozed, 1,500 Migrants Evicted


12 views

Among other migrant crackdown measures, Italy’s Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has promised his people the removal of the dangerous eyesores known as squatter camps from their country. 

Though he has received heat from the opposite side for his strict migrant policies, he is certainly holding to his promise.

According to Italian news source il Giornale, one of these slums, which was occupied by over 1,500 migrants, was bulldozed recently due to its dangerous conditions. Frequent fires had lead to several deaths in the past few months. 

The event occured only after the Italian government offered the migrants living there the chance to move to safer migrant homes – an offer which only 8 migrants took, with the majority choosing to risk continuing to live in the shanty town, where they could continue participating in illegal affairs.
