MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th July, 2019) Matteo Salvini, the Italian deputy prime minister and interior minister, has asked Italian regions to prepare a report about settlements of Roma, Sinti and Camminanti peoples in two weeks, local media reported on Tuesday.
The interior minister clarified that in order to prepare a "plan of clearances," the government needed to know the locations of the illegal camps, according to the ANSA news agency.
Salvini previously drew a significant amount of criticism for his intention to conduct a census of Roma people in order to expel those who were not Italian citizens. While the interior minister insists that it is a legitimate measure to expel people who had no legal right to be in the country in the first place, some compare his policies to those of fascist states.
