Mayor demands ban on renting property to immigrants
An
Italian mayor has launched a campaign to encourage citizens not to rent flats or
sell houses to immigrants.
Cristiano Borghi who is mayor of Gerenzano in
northern Italy sent an official letter on council headed paper to all people in
this town urging them to keep out immigrants.
He wrote: "We want to avoid
an invasion of immigrants into our town. If you love Gerenzano then you will
stand by me on this. If you do not follow this advice then we risk an invasion
of immigrants and it will not be safe to go out at night."
Northern Italy
is a stronghold of the far right Northern League that has campaigned actively
against allowing immigrants into the country.
Borghi added: "I and my
staff have always taken steps to keep out immigrants. That is the reason why we
never built council houses with your money -- because otherwise they will be
taken over by immigrants."
