Salvini wants census to find illegal Gypsies

Shortly before Italy’s new prime minister Giuseppe Conte met with Angela Merkel with the issue of European migratory policies on the table, the far-right minister of the interior Matteo Salvini announce on radio that Italy would create a census of ethnic Gypsies as “nothing had been done by the previous minister, it is just chaos,” he said. “The aim is to find out who they are, how many there are, and to expel those who are in an irregular situation. Italian Gypsies, unfortunately, we will have to keep,” said the minister. The opposition parties have already criticised the proposal. “Yesterday the refugees, today the Roma people and tomorrow, there will be pistols for everyone,” said former PM Paolo Gentiloni.
