Italian government under fire for evicting migrants from reception center near Rome
  • 5 years ago
Italy's populist government has come under fire for ousting migrants from the country's second-largest reception center.
The evictions follow a controversial reform of Italy's migrant reception system, spearheaded by Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
Dozens of migrants have been forced to leave the reception center near Rome, with more than 400 others to be evicted before the center's closure at the end of the month.
The center's staff and opposition MPs have lashed out at the move, with some of them trying to block one of the buses carrying the ousted migrants.
