Romano Prodi, Former President of the Council and the European Commission, interviewed on TV 2000 in the broadcast “Di Bella sul 28” conducted by Antonio Di Bellasaid about the center for migrant people built from Italy in Albania: «The same field, if we wanted to do it, could not be done in Calabria Among other things, did people work in areas who needed them? Why in Albania? Not any sense, you spend more, there are international trafficking, they make buildings that will then remain in Albania, there are travel costs. Purely to say we sent immigrants abroad, that there was no need; What I think was that it was a fact of propaganda and as such it will go on. Among other things, other countries attempted, they then had the same idea, then they regretted, they understood that the thing does not have a great sense, that is, the policy for immigration must be a serious, severe, even selective policy policy , but serious and not with these games that concern only propaganda ».
Mancuso’s reaction
“The former president Romano Prodi has eradicated. It happens to those who have no serious arguments to attack the government and to those who could do, and he was not lacking in positions and distinctive, he failed in anything. But for his joke about Calabria about the Field refugee, which denotes a strong anti -Meridial prejudice before a hateing of reason should simply apologize “. This was stated by the President of the Regional Council, Filippo Mancuso
