Moratorium, now

The situation of public order connected to the flow of European Community citizens from the East is getting out of hand. That’s a fact.
Thefts in villas, episodes of violence even in public places, and even in broad daylight, are becoming a habit. The most recent victim is a Milan pensioner who died last night having been suffocated during a robbery by three people with a strong accent from the East. Today La Repubblica suggests having an investigation into prostitution by underage males in Rome.
They’ve written about hundreds of young lads from the East who are hired out by the hour or by the week. All in broad daylight.
The decree on security even though it is useful, is not enough. It has been overtaken by events. We need a moratorium for at least 2 or 3 years in relation to Romania and Bulgaria and then for the countries that are to enter the Schengen area in 2008.
Irregular people should be repatriated. Those who arrive in Italy must have a place to stay and a job. We are not Europe’s Vespasiano
Finally the penalties for those who give unofficial work to these wretches, to those who exploit under age prostitution and their clients must be made more severe. It’s not possible to wait.
