political news

there were elections in sardinia last week. guess who got elected as governor? the son of berlusconi's accountant.
i think i have nothing to add to this.

also, in rome they basically set up a ghetto. there is a restricted zone "assigned" to immigrants, and now it is going to be closed after 10pm (don't know what time it opens in the morning), with nobody allowed to enter or leave, and every visitor needs to be escorted by a policeman. i mean, people are basically hold prisoners.

so...when you go to the uk for school are you ever going back?

nope, i really don't think so. i already didn't want to but recent events really made me make my mind up!

holy shit! is there a news article in english that you could point me to? esp re: the ghetto.

i found this on sardinia although it doesn't say much about who this guy flippin' is.
also, this is a very important article. the government granted GPs the ability to report illegal immigrant that seek health care - in today's news, the medical association has said that they will suspend any doctor that reports an immigrant.
this is a link to an italian article about the "rom camps", as they call them (seriously!). i couldn't find an english one, as the bbc apparently didn't cover it and nobody else cares to. i will translate it in a while and make a public post on here!

if you translate the article, i'll link to it.

done! this is the link: http://savethewabbit.livejournal.com/203286.html

my translation kind of sucks, but it certainly gets the point across. i don't want to see swastikas hanging from my neighbours' windows! I DON'T WANNA!
