Manifestazione di immigrati in Italia - da Meltingpot
10/31/2007 Quasi quattro milioni. Per la precisione sono 3.690.000 gli immigrati residenti in Italia. In un anno un aumento del 21,6% pari a 500 mila nel corso del 2006, con un aumento mai raggiunto neppure con le regolarizzazioni degli anni passati. Siamo al 6,2% della popolazione complessiva rispetto una media dei paesi dell’Unione Europea del 5,6%. Il nostro Paese ha superato l’Inghilterra e balzerebbe al terzo posto in Europa sia per tasso di crescita che per presenze in assoluto. Ci troviamo alle spalle di Germania e Spagna, che ospitano rispettivamente 7.287.900 e 4.002.500 immigrati. E in Europa? Raggiungiamo tutti assieme la cifra tonda di 50 milioni, un terzo di quelli presenti nel resto del mondo. In Italia parlano 150 lingue diverse, 1 su 2 sogna la cittadinanza italiana. "Senza gli immigrati il sistema Italia si bloccherebbe" - afferma il Presidente Napolitano in un messaggio inviato alla Caritas Migrantes che ha curato il rapporto. Sottoscriviamo. Purché si rivedano le politiche europee molto propense all’infrastruttura e meno a favorire un nuovo ed urgente dialogo tra popoli diversi. di Fabio Pipinato

Centro di Permanenza Temporanea - da Meltingpot
10/30/2007 Lo scorso 16 ottobre è avvenuto il secondo suicidio in sole 48 ore nel Centro di Permanenza Temporanea di Modena, gestito dalla locale sezione delle Misericordie. Monam Ajouli aveva 23 anni ed era tunisino, Mohammed Turi aveva 25 anni ed era giunto nel Cpt solo una settimana prima. In un comunicato l’ARCI sottolinea come “nel rapporto della Commissione De Mistura, di cui l'Arci ha fatto parte, il Cpt di Modena è stato segnalato tra i peggiori, per le condizioni logistiche, la mancanza di relazioni umane, le condizioni alienanti a cui sono costretti i detenuti”. Una situazione disumana che “spiega i ripetuti tentativi di fuga, l'esasperazione che porta ad atti violenti contro altri e contro se stessi. Ci si ribella ad una ingiustificata condizione di costrizione, alla perdita di dignità, alla fine coatta di ogni speranza”. Anche l'ASGI, riprendendo le conclusioni della commissione De Mistura sui Cpt invita il governo a “ridurre drasticamente i casi di invio degli stranieri ai Cpt e dall'altro a strutturare i servizi di tutela legale e psicosociale nei centri in maniera completamente rinnovata nelle logiche e nelle forme”. di Alessio Di Florio
