Migrants: Veneto opens its doors to a "widespread welcome" with a bipartisan Zaia-Pd mayors pact that displaces Salvini

in front ofmigrant emergency, which in 2023 with the Government of center saw the entry into Italy of 73 new migrants, more than double the number of 2021 when he governed Mario Draghi, interesting signals are emerging these days from Veneto which should be encouraged. In the Northeast region, the desperate search for personnel by the Northern League is mild companies is displacing the gloomy ideology of the anti-migrant barricades of the national leader of the Alloy, Matteo Salvini. Faced with the double emergency – migrants who multiply and who reach 150-200 every day in Veneto alone and companies who cannot find the staff they are looking for – wisdom would have it that from anti-migrant closures we move on to a policy of "widespread reception ” through the opening up of small numbers of migrants in the Veneto Municipalities, which will erase the shame of tent cities and hubs and which, with adequate training programmes, will be able to start new arrivals into work. This is exactly what the Governor has proposed with an innovative protocol Zaia with the support of the centre-left mayors of Vicenza, Padova e Verona and it is the sign that perhaps the world is changing and that reality is stronger than all ideologies. Welcoming ordered flows of migrants and sending them to work, thus also satisfying companies is a paradigm that certainly displaces the political blindness of Salvini and his acolytes but which can finally open up a new road where hospitality and work go hand in hand. This is why Governor Zaia and the centre-left mayors who move on the same wavelength deserve due appreciation.
