They are the new citizens. Very integrated, very hardworking and completely unaware of their rights. As the book says Guido Melis and Alina Haraja.

Although in January 2007 have become citizens Romanians have the same problems when they were just immigrants ugly, dirty and bad: in fact, more bad than others. The community most importantly, in the territory, economic strength, social cohesion and numbers is a community of which we never hear, and whose rights are still incomplete.

Of wrongs, injustices, complaints to Amnesty International, meetings between ambassadors and the media is filled with scandals this informal report on the last ten years of strenuous Romanian Italian. But most importantly it is full of paradoxes. Paradoxes are interesting, and the change of political climate (the presence of the Speaker of the House to the presentation of the book itself says a lot) and enter Romania in the European Community have not improved things.

Despite ten years, Romanians have gone from 80,000 to 800,000 legal residents they have had no local political representation, no one in Turin or Rome, and yet a ten Turin is Romanian, a Roman ten is Romanian. There is not a cultural center supported by the government or the ministry of the Socialist delegation in any city. "Paradoxically, the Romanian Italians are the least informed of their new status, their rights," says Alina Haria and after 2007 things got worse, despite protests of the Romanian party, official meetings, the famous TV commercials' Pleasure to know ', and the constant pressure of the Embassy itself. " So much so that following the recommendation for non-racist information, signed by Italian journalists in 1996 and the code of professional ethics, the journalist Miruna Cajvaneanu presents a dossier for Amnesty International as "the Romanian horde, rapists, murderers and convicts not There is a media invention. But its effects continue, the good news are never published, there are even books in the library that tell our writers, our country is an incredible situation, "says Haraj.

The policy seems to ignore the sociology but also statistics. Yet they are 18% of residents, workers, paying taxes, foreigners who have chosen Italy as a second home: 9% of them own homes, 13% of women have started a family with an Italian: the 2% of men with an Italian. In Italian schools on a student 6 is Romanian, is third among the 'non-Italian citizens' university members, although educated are less unionized. Almost 60% of accidents at work, according to data Inail concerns them: and sadly after becoming the European rates of workplace accidents has tripled, reflecting the state of harassment, blackmail and fear with which most working in yards. I am also sad at the top of the charts for the dead white. Have thirty Orthodox churches, pay their associations or by the same Catholic Church, and a brand new Vicariate. Twenty thousand companies are registered with a holder Romanian Chamber of Commerce, twenty Italian businesses are located in Romania. 70% of employees are university graduates or graduates, and those who work regularly works, and almost in order: 2 and a half million euros have their contribution to the GDP of the country where they live.
