phones. Someone shouts “Let him go, let him work”. The chief of the local police denies any suggestion of racism as a motive for the episode. “The street vendor overreacted, trying to voilently avoid the inspection, and four officers ended up in hospital,” he claims. The video is promptly reported by the leaders of the Democratic Party and the Prc (Communist Refoundation Party) in Cagliari.

The reason they give is “the danger of catching diseases from the immigrants who visit it”. The pediatric surgery is located in a complex formed of three buildings looked after by a full.time porter. An accountant and a labour consultant also have their practices on site. In order to access the doctors’ surgery, on the first floor of staircase “A”, you have to go to the porter who calls the surgery on the intercom, directs you to staircase “A” and asks you to wait until someone comes and picks you up. The pediatrician is ostracized to such a degree that in order to let her patients (mostly foreign) in, she has to pay someone to go and pick them up.

In accordance with the rules in place for all public sector workers, the call for bids includes the prerequisite of Italian citizenship or citizenship of an EU member state. The Cisl union appeals on behalf of Sonia Coracalcaicedo, an Ecuadorian national excluded from the competition because she is not in possession of Italian citizenship. The court in Milan upholds the appeal remarking that “an Italian or European citizen cannot be deemed to be more reliable than a foreign one when it comes to performing a technical or operational task, not involving public functions”.

The mayor explains: “we are prepared to turn Castel Volturno into another Rosarno, because we are literally overrun by immigrants. I appeal to Interior Minister Maroni, whom I hold in very high regard for the way he is attempting to fight the camorra; I hope he will help us to rid our city of these illegal immigrants who often turn into drug dealers and criminals. If swift action is not taken, I will be forced to lead a rebellion to restore dignity to our land. Whoever thinks they can bring more immigrants to Castel Volturno is sadly mistaken.” Source: Corriere del Mezzogiorno 30 April 2010 Ferrara (FE), Emilia Romagna 184
The A Buon Diritto association publishes the images of a supposed beating , which occurred in the local Carabinieri station, online. The incident dates back to 24 February, when four young foreign men in a drunk and disorderly state (two Ecuadorians, one Nigerian and one Albanian) were arrested by the Carabinieri for obstructing a public officer. “The images, captured by a surveillance camera installed on the premises, are striking: a young man, handcuffed, utterly harmless and with no possibility of defending himself, is attacked, bludgeoned and thrown to the ground,” Luigi Manconi, president of A Buon Diritto, remarks. “He tried to get up again a couple of times but is knocked down each time. And no one came to his rescue”. The prosecutor’s office opens an enquiry, charging one of the agents with the grievous bodily harm.

The opposition files an appeal with the regional administrative court (Tar). Source: Ansa 4 May 2010 Cassibile (SR), Sicily A group of young Italian boys attacks a Moroccan seasonal labourer aged 30, while he is walking along Via Nazionale. Insults, kicks, punches. The residents of the area sound the alarm and call an ambulance while the aggressors flee the scene. After a while, the local police identify the authors of the racist assault, in part thanks to the witnessstatement of a Moroccan farm‐hand. 7 May 2010 Rome (RM), Lazio The Trenitalia train inspectors and conductors on the Rome Tiburtina‐Avezzano route reveal the appearance of a “peculiar” document, “totally unfamiliar to, and thus never authorized by” the company board. This document allegedly contains a box to tick in order to report the presence of Roma passengers. “Everything we do is purely for the safety and well‐being of passengers,” the company explains. The Salone train station is very close to a large gyspsy settlement. The station was shut down in 2002 for public safety reasons and only reopened on 1 April. The matter is extremely serious, given that in the past passengers received threats, nobody wanted to board the train in that station. It was allowed to reopen only on condition that strict security checks would be set in place and cameras installed.

The woman is wearing a niqab and the policemen ask if they can check if it is really a woman under the clothing. The man retorts: “My religion forbids a woman to show herself in public in front of a man”. A policewoman arrives on the 185
