Italy expels Romanians deemed dangerous
Italy began deporting Romanians with criminal records in response to a streak of
violent crime blamed on immigrants, authorities said Saturday. A knife-wielding mob
attacked a group of Romanians in Rome.
Romanian Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu warned of rising xenophobia in Italy.
Earlier this week, he backed the crackdown and came under criticism at home for
apologizing for violence blamed on Romanian immigrants.
"We should fight against the wave of xenophobia that is manifesting itself in Italy and
we must fight against the bad image that Romanians who are working in Italy have,"
Tariceanu said Saturday.
Up to 10 people wearing motorcycle helmets attacked a group of Romanians with
knives, metal bars and sticks Friday night in the parking lot of a Rome supermarket,
police said. Three Romanians were injured, one with serious head wounds. Police said
they were looking for the attackers.
Authorities in Milan said that four Romanians with criminal records were put on a flight
to Bucharest on Friday night, and that deportations for 12 other Romanians had been
authorized.
They were the first reported expulsions since Premier Romano Prodi's center-left
government approved a decree Wednesday night allowing the deportation of European
Union citizens deemed dangerous.
The head of the Association of Romanians in Italy, Eugen Terteleac, said he welcomed
the expulsions as long as government power "isn't abused. But he denounced the mob
attack and accused the media of creating a "climate of uncertainty and alarm."
"The Romanian community is living through a nightmare," he said in a telephone
interview.
Pressure on authorities to crackdown on immigrants rose after the wife of a top navy
commander was beaten to death near a Gypsy camp on Rome's outskirts earlier this
week. A young Romanian man who lived in the camp was arrested for the attack.
Romanians have poured into Italy since their country joined the European Union at the
start of year, taking jobs as bricklayers, maids and janitors. Romanians number some
560,000 in Italy, or roughly 1 percent of the population.
Italian Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema condemned the mob attack in Rome as "gang
aggression unworthy of our country."
But he also told Sky TG24 TV there was "an emergency linked to the flood of people
from Romania," referring to a spate of violent crimes.
Two other Italians have been killed in recent attacks blamed on Romanians: a woman
stabbed in the eye in a Rome subway and a cycler beaten by suspected Romanian
muggers. Three Romanians were also arrested in the mugging of Oscar-winning
director Giuseppe Tornatore in Rome.
In a northern Italy, a young Romanian man was arrested last month for the rape of a
woman on the steps of a church. In Milan, the 75-year-old owner of a coffee bar in
Milan was beaten and her daughter raped behind the counter during a robbery
allegedly committed by four Romanians.
As part of the crackdown, bulldozers in Rome for a second day knocked down
shantytowns where thousands of foreigners live without permits.
Italy's reaction to the crimes by Romanians "is normal, there's fear," said a Romanian
waiter who would only give his first name, Constantino. But he said he was considering
returning to his homeland.
"The expulsions make people fear safe. But, personally, I don't want to stay here any
more," he said.

"The Romanian community is living through a nightmare," he said in a telephone
interview.
O Chefe da Associação de Romenos na Itália, Eugen Terteleac, disse que ele recebe
bem a expulsão enquanto o poder do governo não for abusivo. Mas ele denunciou o
ataque do bando e acusou a imprensa de criar um “clima de insegurança e alarme”.
Pressure on authorities to crackdown on immigrants rose after the wife of a top navy
commander was beaten to death near a Gypsy camp on Rome's outskirts earlier this

Pressões sobre as autoridades para punição severa sobre os imigrantes aumentaram
após a esposa de um alto comandante de navio foi espancada até a morte, próximo ao
campo Gypsy nos arredores de Roma no começo do mês. Um jovem romeno que vivia
no campo foi preso pelo ataque.
Romanians have poured into Italy since their country joined the European Union at the

Mas ele também disse a Sky TG24 que havia “uma emergência ligada para a
enxurrada de pessoa vinda da România,” referindo-se para uma inundação de crimes
violentos.

Como parte da punição severa, escavadoras em Roma por um segundo dia
desmontaram barracos onde centenas de estrangeiros viviam sem permissão.

A reação italiana contra os crimes dos romenos “é normal, há medo,” disse um garçom
romeno que somente deu somente seu primeiro nome, Constantino. Mas ele disse que
estava considerando retornar para sua terra natal.
"The expulsions make people fear safe. But, personally, I don't want to stay here any
more," he said.
“A expulsão fazem as pessoas sentirem segurança. Mas, pessoalmente, eu não quero
mais estar aqui,” ele disse.
