Genoa: City of migrants | VPRO Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Genoa is a haven city in Italy. In Genoa, tens of thousands of African migrants arrive, and the city and its inhabitants are overwhelmed by this flood of men. Administratively, the migrants are stuck in Genoa, and the locals have to live with the migrants, the criminality, and the shift in Genoa's culture, highly visible in the emblematic street Via di Pré.
In this VPRO travel series Via Genoa, writer Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer speaks with the colorful inhabitants of his hometown, the Italian port city of Genoa. Pfeijffer shows how Italy changes politically, socially and economically with all the newcomers.
In this first episode Ilja identifies the problems: in the neighborhood, many unemployed African migrants live, and many migrants do not have a residence permit. To have a residence permit they need an employment contract. But there are no jobs for migrants. For this reason, via di Prè became a criminal street, where you avoid eye contact and keep on walking. Even locals do not want to go on Via di Pré anymore.
The new police boss, Sergia Bracco, increased the number of patrols in central Genoa. The reason for this was the neighborhood residents and shopkeepers complaining, the terrorist attacks in other European cities and the various fake bombings in the city. Regular military and police patrols roam the city.
Every day, new Africans arrive in Genoa looking for work that doesn't seem to be real. At present, these are mostly young men from West Africa. In Lampedusa and the reception centers in Sicily they are divided among the Italian municipalities. Genoa currently has over 3000 registered asylum seekers. In the last month of December, tens of thousands came up daily. During the winter season, there are fewer arrivals on the southern Italian coasts, but the prospects are that 2017 will be another record year.
This shows how Italy has changed on the wings of migration over recent decades. Italians traded their salami, cheeses and vegetables and fruits for Senegalese seafood restaurants, Nigerian barbers and Moroccan kebab stores. During the nightly hours, the Italians in this part of the city can be counted on one hand.

I'm not of Italian descent, but for those who are. This must be like watching a loved one slowly die.
This is dutch eu sympathy propaganda
It's the same all over Europe. 😢
This 'documentary' is very limited in its perspectives and angles. Unfortunately the presenter and the planning behind it are rudimentary and give such a narrow, potentially biased viewpoint. Hopefully he can do better in future or simply give up.
if you have no money in Europe, and you have no money in Senegal, isn't it better to return to senegal and be present with your family and work to find a way to make money in senegal ?
Maybe they are trying to get to Sweeden, UK, Germany. If they manage to settle there and bring their family each of them would end up on social benefits...Voilà, by the grace of european tax payer the senegali family won't have to work a day in their life
@@mademoisellepunk777 I hope you were being sarcastic
Sure! Because in Senegal you can have a money or a dignity life. True? You can go to Senegal and then you tell me as life is.
19:00 - it's nothing wrong with linking your residential permit to your working status. It's absolutely normal to have legal work, pay taxes, and be prepared to be kicked off if you lose your job. I don't see any differences between these people and, for instance, Ukrainians who'd like to start a new life in Italy. But the thing is, that 90% of Ukrainians starting from the job search and a long process of naturalization, but not from just arriving from their home country with a hope that everything will be fine afterward.
Ukrainians are also more likely to fit in as they are Europeans with a similar culture and faiths. In addition, Ukrainians have better education and know how to seek opportunities to learn the new language. Also it's very likely that Ukrainians return home when the war is over.
Of course there is nothing wrong with connecting job status with the permission to stay. If I went to Italy and wouldn't be able to support myself financially, I would have to return to Germany or Austria, as I am a resident of these countries. So why is this wrong for people from outside of Europe?
Great documentary, ethnographically rich. A Moroccan speaking French talking to a Dutch journo talking in italian
@@SavedForThis lol at this, if only you knew
@Orion you mean colonialism? Rofl
But financially poor
They will all be removed.
Who will do it?
I dont think so
A dutch dude in love with Genoa, understanding this complex reality better than most locals (me included). Awesome document, excellent job.
ONG , pobre Italia la están destrozando .
This is what happen when it is more important to you to be seen as woke than it is to secure your descendants future and way of living.
Well done current generation. Your children will look back at your achievement
I would have love to hear it in English
SavedForThis oh great thanks
"Me Too"
Watch out ! ! Unwanted comments get removed here like mine just did ! !
@Coffin Dodger Happy to see that I am not the only person who gets a "jawlock" ! !
Three years later still woke cultists' cancel culture.
Obviously Genoa is not just this but much more ... a concrete example? Zena has still been twinned with Odessa since 1979 thanks to business relationships from immemorial time. In the historic center of Genoa the "Polizia Municipale, Polizia, Carabinieri" etc... etc... usually run with their heads down, ignoring the illegal market. It is not that you have tried to show us as they ask for documents, permits or anything else ... they go without doing anything but just showing their presence. But as soon as you get on a personal vehicle they can't wait to destroy you just because it makes money, but you can go with bicycles and "monopattini" without respecting the red light stop and you can also get dirty all the walls of the town with the colors of the two cursed football teams of the city without anyone taking care of canceling... maybe someone wants to imitate the Brazilian favelas to look "cooler"
Eu 2.0 ruined
European Dictatorship . . . Continential jail cell
Goed Spul/
Good Stuff. I feel more human after watching this.
Bravo dutch man, belin!
im wondering, if you have the money to pay 2/3k euro for the trip to europe by 'boat' is there no way to take a flight or buy a cheap car instead?
they work years and years for that money , still many die on the way to Europe
They will never get a visa to enter Europe if they fly. That's why the go the illegal way. By car would be the same.
Im wondering, people who considering making a trip to EU as of today, with the knowledge EU is poor, intolerant, nobody wants you, shitty jobs and these dumb inhumane covid restrictions worldwide.. why not try to find a relative stable country around africa find a place in the middle of nowhere and start doing some permaculture and leave all the EU BS behind. this whole rotten paradigm you need money and a job to survive...to what, buy shit you dont need, buy plastic toys for your kids. 99% of the world population has forgotten that creation is our highest nature, being free is our birthright and abundance is our natural state.

Propaganda di nuovo ?
Of course! 😡🤬
15:30 I am an Italian my family came to italy from the Dominican Republic they faced a lot of discrimination and racism but never did illegal things, what he said is not true
Is Genoa save?
@@ConanNYC it’s safer than many big cities in the U.S. but it’s a big city and like all big city it has its risks. You also have to take into account that it is a big tourist place and the authorities in Italy would do very thing they can to keep it safe so that tourists come back
@@mariosanchez5392when have you been to Europe last time?
There are no tourists anymore in Genua and many other cities in southern Europe.
Europe isn't anymore like it used to be. It has become very dangerous, especially for children and women.
I don't know how dangerous the US cities are, but I bet it's not that dangerous because people from abroad commit so many assaults.
Beautiful video and so true! I live in Genoa since more than 50 years as a privileged migrant... I should say that it is not really true that a few years ago the area of via Pré was mostly populated by South Americans, all they did is just move away a little bit further on in the city boundaries. Why do we have this situation here? First: because of the restricted law Bossi-Fini (both former politicians involved in unlawful financial matters); Second: because the laws DO NOT ALLOW the migrants to settle normally here: to get a job you need a residential document, to get the residential document you must have the authorisation to live in this country (permesso di soggiorno) and to get a permesso di soggiorno you must have a job! Where do you find a job easily nowadays?
Everybody is necessary on this Earth; we have called for migrants from Rumania with special buses to pick up the tomatoes in the fields during our lockdown because only a few of us want to do the job....THINK! the story is long to be written.....
Not an error.
Ciao da Pegli 😉😂
Every nation hase bone bread people I don't know Italian but I watch how with positive mind you serve your nation these people may lift your nation use them get connect them in primary works as cheap labor work to remove spray paint marks everywhere on walls look very ugly world is watching this video Italy is a beautiful country cleaning work shift on new immigrants building labor work to repair water chanel's far from city's many more I love my land Pakistan but I am human a message of humanity noble human should be appreciated I love you you are doing well you are son of soil Italia salute your mother

Volcano will come

Inmigration from south to north is from poor to rich countries. Southamericans, arabians and africans. Inequality is the key. Rich countries has to help poor countries to development. If not it will continue.
The South Americans were Italians to begin with. The men made it clear if people who move to Italy refuse to also conform and contribute Italy will no longer function. Their current migrations are people who refuse to CONFORM and also contribute. They want their new countries to Conform to everything from politics to religion to lifestyle. They become enemies living within their borders.
The West have given and to the South for at least 50 years.
No rich countries must stop the systemic pillaging of natural resources from the African continent , destabilizing democratic elected governments that are pro citizens anti globalist capitalist from the west,by the way I'm American 😮😮
boring
Yeah because Italians never emigrated to anywhere where they becamr associated with organised crime and were discriminated against
Cry
have you watched godfather? italian mobs ran the entire new york
@@saeidk736 Who is running it now? A different kind of mob using taxpayer money?
Just propaganda of people that do not like different skin colors
If that were they case they wouldn’t let them star there at all. They round them up and kick them out. It’s obvious who they are. The dark ones.
A country belongs to its native population. Not to the invaders who impose themselves upon it and insist that it is their "home".
@@IndustrialMilitia ❤❤️🔥❤️
Sorry but without immigrants Italy has never been a particularly safe place to live with the exception of South Tyrol
