Who doesn't remember Gugu Liberato, the beloved Sunday afternoon host on SBT, with his segment "Back to My Homeland"? In the show, migrants received help to leave São Paulo and return to their hometown.
This Saturday, November 8th, in Verona, an Italian group is revisiting this idea, but from a different perspective. The newly created Remigrazione e Reconquista Committee (Comitato Remigrazione e Riconquista) [He] is organizing a demonstration in Piazza Pradaval at 16 p.m., demanding the forced return of immigrants living illegally in Italy.
Remigration as a solution for security.
Formed by nationalist movements, the committee advocates for "remigration" to be incorporated as public policy. The proposal involves the compulsory return of undocumented foreigners and immigrants convicted in court, arguing that such measures would restore security and dignity to Italians.
According to the organizers, the city of Verona is facing an increase in crime related to the presence of foreigners, including second-generation immigrants. "We want this issue to be at the center of the political debate," the group stated in a press release.
In fact, according to a report published by the economic newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore Verona appears in eighth place in the ranking of the most dangerous cities in Italy. The data indicates an increase in crimes related to drug trafficking and theft.
Mobilization with a patriotic appeal
The act in Verona This is the first in a series of mobilizations planned by the committee. The tone of the call is markedly patriotic. "There are still Italians who do not surrender," says the text, which invites the population to participate, waving national flags.
Despite the rhetoric, the proposal for forced remigration is not present in the platforms of the main Italian political parties. Under current legislation, the expulsion of foreigners depends on a judicial or administrative decision, respecting legal guarantees.
The committee promises to maintain a presence in the streets until the issue gains political prominence.
