Bossi-Fini Law, “Abolish it”: over 23,000 signatures for the petition on the change.org platform

ROMA – The mobilization of Italian citizens who, in the middle of summer, committed themselves to signing the petition launched by theMigrate Association on the platform change.org for the abolition of the Bossi-Fini Law which constitutes the real obstacle to the integration of immigrants. The permanence of the Bossi-Fini Law n. 189/2002 in the Italian legislative panorama has so far demonstrated the political will to maintain the precariousness of immigrants by denying their rights and causing damage to social, economic and security reasons in Italy: “an evident contradiction based on the hypocrisy of this law which is unworthy of a Western Republic”, we read in a document released by theMigrate Association.

So that cases like that of Sarnam Singh do not happen again. The thousands of Italians who are signing the petition in these hours evidently also have the meaning of a battle so that cases like the death of the farm worker Satnam Singh, the Indian farm worker who died in the San Camillo hospital in Rome on June 19, two days after being abandoned by his employer in front of the house where he lived in the province of Latina, never happen again. The car of the agricultural company where he worked illegally had severed his arm and broken his legs, while he was harvesting melons. In front of his house, together with the dying man, the severed arm was also left in a fruit crate.
