接納移民的義大利市長被捕 所有移民被送走

(World Journal) 編譯徐榆涵

義大利南部的里亞切市(Riace)以歡迎移民而聞名,不過內政部表示,市內所有移民下周將會被轉移到其他移民中心。

內政部做出該決定前,里亞切市市長盧卡諾(Domenico Lucano)被捕,目前遭居家軟禁。他因涉嫌籌辦「方便婚姻」幫助非法移民移居義大利而被捕。

義大利反移民的民粹政府上任後,在移民政策上加強執法,抑制移民湧入。

盧卡諾就任市長期間,一直對非法移民採取人性化寬容態度,義務幫助非法移民解決生活中所面臨的困難,像是為他們提供棄置房屋和在職訓練,希望藉助新移民振興經濟。

該計畫於1988年前任政府執政期間展開,此後有數百民移民移居這個僅有約2000人的小城。該計畫曾被譽為整合移民問題的可行模式,美國財富雜誌甚至將他評比為全球50位最偉大的市長之一。盧卡諾本月初被捕後激發民眾抗議,掀起全國對這項計畫的爭論。

內政部長薩爾維尼(Matteo Salvini)和右翼聯盟表示,盧卡諾被捕象徵義大利政府已經向移民宣戰。

自從義大利新聯合政府6月上台,薩爾維尼的反移民強硬派作風同時招致讚揚和批評。他11日表示,將提出一項草案,規定「少數族裔」開的商店必須在晚間9時前打烊,立即引發爭議。

盧卡諾表示,「政府想要摧毀我們」,他的律師將對他的拘留提出上訴。

針對盧卡諾遭受指控涉及安排便利婚姻以解決移民問題。檢察官表示,他們已經聽取盧卡諾的電話並進行錄音,盧卡諾似乎認為婚姻是解決婦女移民問題的唯一方法。



據警方先前調查,一位奈及利亞非法移民女子曾被警方要求限期離境三次,該女子最終向盧卡諾求助。盧卡諾表示,「與義大利人通婚是合法留在義大利的唯一辦法」。盧卡諾事後協助這名女子辦理結婚登記手續。

Domenico Lucano has been placed under house arrest on charges of aiding illegal immigration.

MILAN, Italy — For more than a decade, Domenico Lucano has fought to keep the poor, depopulated southern Italian village of Riace alive. As the village mayor, he invited migrants and asylum seekers to move in and fill the void — and it worked.

Hundreds of migrants now live in Riace, which sits in the hills of Calabria, one of Italy’s poorest regions. They make up roughly one-fourth of the village’s population, and the influx of children has enabled Lucano to keep Riace’s school open.

But on the morning of Oct. 2, Lucano was arrested for aiding and abetting illegal immigration. Lucano’s supporters fear his detention might be politically motivated: Italy’s right-wing populist government has vowed to crack down on both immigrants and those who help them, portraying them as criminals. Earlier this year, authorities arrested and tried members of migrant-aid groups for aiding illegal immigration, though the aid workers were acquitted.

Lucano is a particularly high-profile target for immigration opponents. His experiment has been praised by the international media and even inspired a short film. Lucano himself was listed as one the world’s 50 greatest leaders in 2016 by Forbes magazine.

Over the past few months, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, an immigration hard-liner, has attacked Lucano as a symbol of pro-immigration policies, and he was quick to praise Lucano’s arrest on Twitter. “I wonder what all the do-gooders who want to fill Italy with immigrants are thinking now,” he wrote.

Lucano has been charged by the chief prosecutor of the nearby city of Locri of aiding illegal immigration by “arranging marriages of convenience between local men and foreign women,” according to the Agi news agency. He is currently under house arrest.

Lucano has been the mayor of Riace since 2004. He came up with the idea of welcoming migrants to the village in 1998, when he heard news about a boat full of Kurdish refugees who had reached the coast of Calabria. Riace had plenty of empty houses, which had been abandoned by locals, and the local government would receive 35 euros per day per asylum seeker from the Italian government while their claims were adjudicated. He began implementing the plan as soon as he was elected.

The experiment was a success: Some of the asylum seekers and migrants decided to stay and build lives in Riace, opening shops and restaurants and sometimes marrying locals. The village now hosts about 600 migrants from 20 different countries, including Afghanistan, Eritrea and Iraq, according to the newspaper La Repubblica.

Many other towns and villages in Calabria, where youth unemployment is above 55 percent, have seen a massive brain drain as young people move north to wealthier parts of Italy or leave the country entirely. Rather than become ghost towns, at least four other villages have adopted Lucano’s plan themselves.

Lucano has been charged by the chief prosecutor of the nearby city of Locri of aiding illegal immigration by “arranging marriages of convenience between local men and foreign women,” according to the Agi news agency. Lucano is currently under house arrest.

Many liberal commentators view the arrest as a form of punishment for Lucano’s migrant-friendly policies. “The government has begun transforming Italy from a democracy to an authoritarian state,” wrote Roberto Saviano, a well-known left-wing writer, in a Facebook post.
