As employment minister in the early 2000s, [Maroni] sponsored the introduction of a law that, more than any, has skewed the labor market. By making it easier for bosses to hire mostly young workers on short-term contracts without eroding the privileges of older workers with jobs for life, the law created a generational gulf that has grown ever since. The difficulty of getting worthwhile employment that allows workers to build up their pension rights, take out a mortgage and perhaps start a family is a prime explanation for why so many young Italians flee abroad — and why so many who stay vote for the maverick 5Star Movement that polls indicate is now Italy’s most widely supported party.

La mia posizione è quella espressa insieme ai governatori del Nord Zaia e Toti nel documento di Genova: sono benvenuti i profughi veri, ossia i rifugiati che scappano dalla guerra, mentre i ragazzotti in cerca di fortuna, vestiti di tutto punto con Iphone o Ipad in mano, devono tornare a casa.

Roberto Maroni, President of Lombardy.

“My position is the same as that expressed by the Northern Governors Zaia and Toti in the Genoa document: real refugees are welcome, as are refugees fleeing from war, but the youths in search of fortune, all dressed up with their Iphones or Ipads in hand, they have to go home.”

Maroni’s answer comes in response to a question from Libero Quotidiano reporter Matteo Mion about Maroni’s stance on the growing immigrant population in Lombardy. Having crossed the Mediterranean and been smuggled North, migrants are finding themselves denied access to the bordering countries around Italy, and have started to collect in cities around Lombardy and the North.
