Italy’s Interior Minister, Matteo Salvini, is drawing his attention to Italy’s gypsy community.
The interior minister, who recently sparked a multinational showdown by refusing entry to a Mediterranean Sea rescue boat packed with 630 migrants, told a Lombardy television station he wants to conduct a census or registry of Roma (locally known as gypsies) in Italy.
Salvini stressed the projects purpose wasn’t to identify individual Roma but to study the overall situation.
