THE ITALIAN PARADOX ON REFUGEES

by Elisabetta Povoledo

„ROM  – Das verlassene Gebäude in einem Vorort von Rom, einfach bekannt unter dem Namen Salaam Palace,war einst eine wenig genutzte Auffangstelle für Neuankommende aus Afria – auf der Flucht vor Krieg, Verfolgung und wirtschaftlicher Misere – , die das Gebäude besetzt hatten, um dort ihr eigenes Refugium aufzubauen. r own refuge.“
Weiter heisst es im Artikel: „Over the years, scattered mattresses were joined by sloppily plastered plywood walls, slapdash doors and scavenged furniture. Today an irregular warren of cubbyholes includes a small restaurant and a common room. On a recent cold afternoon, a hammer clinked as a bathroom was added to a one-room home where an oven door was left open for heat.

News from the “Village of All Together” – Dec 27th
Posted on December 28, 2012

The network of volunteer organisations and active civilians of Lesvos “Village of All Together” reached it’s 100th day of life. The initiatives of the VoAT were supported by members of our network, the social polyclinic, farmacy and shops, offering food supply for families who can not afford buying food and the reception / hosting of migrants and refugees. Finally the VoAT organised a support initiative for a village that had recently been hit by strong rainfalls. With the functioning of PIKPA as an open reception centre for migrants and refugees we experienced a wave of volunteering and solidarity from the local society surpassing all our expectations.
