18 August 2016 Involve “in the labor migrants who are legitimately on our soil: refugees or those who have already submitted an application for asylum.” To launch the proposal, in an interview with the ‘Corriere della Sera’ is the head of the Department for Civil Liberties and Immigration Mario Morcone. “We can no longer leave – he added – that these people hung waiting for a fate that falls from above, to abbruttirsi passing the day waiting lunch and dinner.”

Morcone recalls how some mayors have already “activated volunteer projects “. The work, which would still not mandatory, “is in the interest of migrants and the community.” “He that is showing good will and ability to fit – continuous – you might get a different focus in the reception. There is a humanitarian permit which is currently being taken for reasons of vulnerability of children and the sick. We could use it in this way. After a year testing would serve as an incentive to good behavior “. The work would be paid: “I do not think one pays with national rates but at a reduced salary”

Alfano: yes to volunteering but for work before Italians
” first priority Italians “. Interior Minister Angelino Alfano interviewed RTL supports the proposal to work Morcone legal migrants but precise: “For us, the rule is first Italians. Another thing is volunteering that allows refugees to get busy. Well in voluntary work agreements with municipalities and voluntary associations, not activities that can say ‘before the refugees then Italians’ “.

Calderoli: crazy and unacceptable proposal
“Employ the asylum seekers immigrants in community service, pay them and thus give them a fast track to be greeted? The proposal of prefect Morcone is crazy and unacceptable in a country where overall unemployment is over 11 percent and youth is around 35 per cent the priority must be to provide work for our unemployed and to our young people and not to those who, in 90 percent of cases, is here irregular and will be expelled to the bureaucratic end of its application for protection “. This was stated Roberto Calderoli of the Northern League in a statement.

“Even more crazy and unacceptable – continued Calderoli – is the proposal to want to reward these immigrants who get involved in community work with a sort of lane ad hoc preferential extending them the protection for humanitarian aid purposes, to be reserved for vulnerable people such as children, women or sick: this would be the Trojan horse to stay here all asylum seekers. Absurd. “

“we would then understand why Morcone, a prefect, a simple civil servant, keep going in the newspapers to propose his recipes for the country and hissing orders and veiled threats to the mayors who do not follow his line: we understood that the minister Interior was such Angelino Alfano, not this Morcone, but maybe wrong … “concluded Calderoli.
