Calais, the other “Lampedusa” of Europe

Calais, l’altra “Lampedusa” in Europa

EN | IT | FR – The situation in Calais was really tense in recent days. As he approached Easter day over 2,000 desperate people, fleeing war, injustice and poverty, have been the victims of a brutal offensive of French police and State that gathered them all in a field in a peripheral and marsh land of the industrial area close to the Day Care Centre “Jules Ferry”. The fields where Sudanese, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Afghans, Pakistanis, Iranians and Egyptians lived until recently (Tioxide, Leaderprice and Gallo) have become an expanse of waste. What remains it is bleak. The atmosphere is spooky.
