Migrantes says real emergency

Catholic migrant charity Migrantes said Wednesday the real migrant emergency was not increasingly unruly teen gangs as stated by Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini but rather the police system used to treat migrants in Italy.
    "The phenomenon of teen gangs affects some situations, Italians and not only foreigners, and the real national emergency is the educational problem, with a school dropout rate much higher than the European average", Monsignor Gian Carlo Perego, president of the Migrantes Foundation, told ANSA.
    "The real emergency is that too much money has been put into security and nothing into integration," Perego went on.
    "The real emergency is the police system with which the migrant issue is addressed, the real emergency is to change the narrative and start processes where citizenship is an important element because if a person feels like an outsider it is not good".
