Italy granted temporary residence permits to immigrants from Tunisia

The Italian Government signed in the coming hours a decree to be granted temporary residence permits to more than 20,000 immigrants arriving in boats from Tunisia to the coast of Italy since the beginning of the year. This was announced Wednesday at the media the President of the Tuscany region, Enrico Rossi, upon leaving a meeting with the central executive at the headquarters of the Presidency of the Government, Palazzo Chigi, which addressed the distribution between the different cities of the undocumented.

The European Commission already proposed this week as a solution to the immigration crisis stemming from the Arab riots temporarily hosting the Twenty-seven (for a maximum period of one year) to people fleeing because of the difficulty of assessing what people have come to request asylum and who are seeking employment.

On Monday, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has traveled to Tunisia to discuss the emergency situation created by immigrants fleeing the riots. Daily reach the Italian island of Lampedusa, even with some 3,000 illegal immigrants despite the transfers, barges laden with Tunisian who flee their country.
