On september the 15th one of the leaders of the Northern League Mario Borghezio, leading a delegation of Members of the European Parliament, said that the center of Lampedusa is a five star hotel and that he'd live there: that same day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs let him find only 11 recluses in the center, and that same week the smugglers deviated the barges route up to Sicily. Who knows, maybe in Mr. Borghezio apartment it's normal to have floors covered by sewage. But the most part of the immigrants confined in here comes from clean houses where you even have to enter with bare feet.
