“I thank the prefect Franco Gabrielli for the words expressed which certify what I have long maintained regarding the failure of the reception and integration policies adopted in Reggio Emilia by the current municipal administration.
If many immigrants end up on the streets committing crimes, jeopardizing the safety of citizens and of the police forces themselves, it means that there has not been a correct management of the migratory phenomenon, but this is a problem that goes well beyond the borders of our city.
Regarding the statement that the presence of the army is costly, it is enough to consider the positive data from nearby cities only a few months after joining the “Safe Streets” program: the number of checks, daily identifications and the constant surveillance of the territory make without a doubt the safest cities.
Let us remember that, as Colonel Milani said today on the occasion of the celebrations for the 210th anniversary of the foundation of the Carabinieri, the uniform represents the barrier to illegality.
As for costs, it is obvious that safety has a price, but if we really want to act for the good of the city we must also have the courage to make the right choices.”
