A northern Italian town's raising
of barricades against refugees and forcing them to be sent
elsewhere "will not set a precedent", Interior Minister Angelino
Alfano said Wednesday. He said the specific circumstances
including the fact that the 12 refugees were women with children
had prompted the authorities' decision to re-route them from
Goro to three other towns in the PO Delta. Alfano said no
anti-migrant road blocks would be permitted anywhere else. Goro
and another nearby town, Gorino, were widely condemned for the
barricades against the women, one of whom was pregnant, who had
come from Nigeria, New Guinea and Ivory Coast.
