Volunteering and mutualism networks, which in these days are working hard in many forms of solidarity, cannot be the only ones who concern for those who do not have enough income or are unable to provide for lunch or dinner. For people who don’t have residence permit is extremely difficult now to have access to healthcare, to earn an income, to shop, to get a hot meal and take any necessary measures to preserve themselves from the infection.įor this reason the first important goal, even as preliminary step, should be the complete access, without any restriction about residence and regular situation, to economic support and shopping vouchers provided by the decree “Cura Italia”. The urgency of an action is the common point that marks out from the speeches of whose joined the meeting, as time doesn’t go by the same way for all during pandemic. But tens of thousands people are also in a great risk, stuck in the quicksand of appeals after the rejection of their requests of international protection.

The absence of full access to public health and healthcare, denial of freedom of movement, exploitation, poverty, undeclared work, unhealthy housing or lack of accommodation and running water: these situations affects more than six hundred thousand people and that, following the crisis economic aggravated by the coronavirus, could affect those who will be unable to maintain income and work requirements, or to convert their temporary permit into a stable residence permit. The discussion therefore received the contribution of organizations located throughout the national territory, from North to South, from metropolises to rural areas, that outlined a map of what it means to be irregular, to live being deprived of any right, to end up imprisoned in a CPR, due to a regulatory framework, since Bossi-Fini to Minniti-Orlando and Salvini law, that created a large groups of invisibles. This is an extremely positive result that confirms the urgency of a generalized regularization at a time when the spread of coronavirus highlights even more dramatically all the social inequalities that still exist inside our society, and makes it even more visible differential access to health and social benefits.
