(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 27 - Catholic migrant charity Migrantes
said Wednesday the real migrant emergency was not increasingly
unruly teen gangs as stated by Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini but
rather the police system used to treat migrants in Italy.
"The phenomenon of teen gangs affects some situations, Italians
and not only foreigners, and the real national emergency is the
educational problem, with a school dropout rate much higher than
the European average", Monsignor Gian Carlo Perego, president
of the Migrantes Foundation, told ANSA.
"The real emergency is that too much money has been put into
security and nothing into integration," Perego went on.
"The real emergency is the police system with which the migrant
issue is addressed, the real emergency is to change the
narrative and start processes where citizenship is an important
element because if a person feels like an outsider it is not
good". (ANSA).
